Write me a letter!

Okay, so I’m sitting here watching Kathy Lee and Hoda.  They just showed some cute Valentine ideas to give to your partner.   One of the items is a journal called ‘Between You And Me.’   

Guess what?

Jesse and I have been journaling back and forth to each other (on and off) since our first year of marriage 14 years ago!

I have absolutely NO idea why we started, but we must’ve been onto something because clearly it’s a ‘thing.’

Here’s how it works: 

1. Get a journal.
2. Write down your appreciations, upsets, things you’d like to work on between you.
3. Put the journal underneath your partners pillow.
4. Your partner reads your entry.
5. Your partner writes his/her entry.
6. Your partner puts the journal underneath YOUR pillow

Just so you know, my husband and I  journaled like crazy in the BEGINNING of our marriage and then little by little, the entries were written farther and farther apart until we completely stopped writing. 

Until………..

We started again!  In the fall, after a VERY rough patch in our marriage, we started writing in our journal again and you know what? 

IT FEELS WONDERFUL!
