Please, God, don’t let me become a paper snob.
Thank you for my expensive journals with paper that doesn’t bleed through, but remind me that words written on a napkin or the back of an envelope are no less important than those written in a Moleskine journal — just harder to keep track of.
I love that watercolor paper has both a rough and a smooth side, but let me not look down upon those who have yet to discover this wonder or on watercolor papers that lack this attribute.
Help me remember that the lesser grade papers are not lesser in importance, but may require gentler handling or may be suited for a different purpose.
The variety of paper in this world is astounding — paper towel, parchment paper, wrapping paper, newspaper, brown paper, filter paper, toilet paper, loose leaf paper, rag paper, wood pulp paper, even elephant poo paper. Thank you for each one, although I don’t ever see myself using the elephant poo paper.
I worry about becoming a pen snob, too, so tomorrow, can we talk about writing instruments?
Amen.
Hot Dogs and Marmalade 
indeed… for those of us who love beauty and would have that reflected in the journals we choose… amen! dear Sally!
Very different and interesting to read.
A prayer I can relate to beautifully relayed. 😇
Keeping track of all those bits of paper can be a trial!
A nice, honest prayer. Thanks.
I will show up for the pen conversation for sure.
Truth! I was once a computer snob – good writing can only happen on paper, right? My English major eventually broke me of that 🙂 A good reminder not to let the process hinder the project!
