Journals

I am not a good journal keeper.  I wish I were one of those people who wrote diligently in their journal every night (heck, even once a week would be good).  But I'm not.  I know I'm supposed to keep a journal, but I feel I have very few journal worthy events to record.  So I'm a slacker.  

However, for the past 15 years or so I have kept a weekly engagement calendar in my nightstand.  I try to write down something every day or so.  Sometimes it's just a list of what went on that day.  Sometimes it's a line or two of feelings.  It's not deep writing, but it comes in handy.  Like when I'm trying to remember if Scott went camping last January - I can usually find a record of it.  Or when I was writing my two posts about my parents, I pulled out my calendars and they helped me remember the order of events.  

I guess you might call me a mini-journaler!  For now, it's a start.
