I came into work this morning and had an e-mail from a Seattle woman who found a black leatherbound journal on the side of the road while walking her dog last Thursday afternoon. It contained no identification but there was an e-mail written "from an Erin Hanson to a Gwen Crook" folded up inside. She wrote to the e-mail address on the note and wondered if I knew who the journal might belong to? I am overwhelmed and giddy with excitement and praise. That which was so precious to me (and was lost, or rather, stolen) has been FOUND! I tend to underestimate the goodness in people I think (perhaps because ashamedly I find little that is truly good in myself most of the time...selfishness prevails) but this is one of those occurences that makes me think, people are good. I am so glad the thief tossed it out onto the street instead of burning it or throwing it away in the garbage where it might have never been discovered! Praise the Lord!

WOW. Incredible.
OH MY GOODNESS!! THAT IS AWESOME!!! I THINK JEN'S CRYING RIGHT NOW!
Wow... that is unbelievable!!!
so happy for you. and i love that i know both the "erin hanson" and the "gwen crook". i don't know why but that makes it feel more exciting to me. :)
Hooray! Just goes to show us all (again) that God is good! :)
Oops I meant: Woo Hoo!!! (again I am doing the Taye version with both arms straight up in the air!)
I am so happy that everything is being recovered, what about your magazine :)
hey! it's lindsey fylling.. I know this is pathetic, but I JUST realized that you have a blog. Typically, I read Nicole's like every few days and often, I sneak a peek at the comments, but NEVER thought to click on your name. :)
Anyway, I started blogging tonight! I'm not a professional yet, like you, but maybe someday...
Ok..main point of the post is this... every morning on 92.5, the radio DJ reads an entry from a random diary that was found on the street or something.. It's SO embarrassing...sometimes I turn the page so that I don't have to hear her innermost thoughts that he enjoys broadcasting. When I noticed that you lost your journal, I think I stopped breathing for a second...haha. thank goodness it's not yours that he's reading from!!
hope all is well..happy thanksgiving, dear. I so wish that I could see you this weekend with nicole. She mentioned going to Olive Garden to meet "Jim." Ha! Hilarious! :)
Take care!! xox!
i mean.. turn the station, not page. :)
