Where I lay my head is home
I have for the past nine years and i wish i wrote more in that period. Some times i will write every day for three months and other times i will write two times a month so it varys for me but i do keep track of whats going on in my life with it. Give it a few months or years and you some very interesting reading.Who else keeps a Journel/Diary ?.
 
I wrote my first diary last year. It's good to look back on it and see what I was doing this time last year; what my thoughts were, my attitudes to things, what I was doing, etc...

My best friend gave me a new diary for Christmas to write this year in; it was a Secret Santa present, and he bought it in Sevilla (we were in Spain for Christmas last year). So I have a Spanish diary this year. :D
 
Nope. I'm into the "resurrection" concept. One day at a time. One "moment" at a time. Buddha said the same thing, if you can get past all the mythology. Think of it like a Markov process. Besides my memory isn't shot yet, and when it is, it won't matter anyway. Hopefully my kids will be too smart on their own, to be reading my diary. :D

i still say... why waste your time writing on what you lived through and then reading what you lived through when you can live some more...

+1x10^umpteenth!

There are "professional historians" out there, and I'm not one of 'em. :D

I don't see that as part of my "responsibility" to all y'all. I'll leave that to the experts. :)
 
I just started a journal, about my everyday events, yesterday.I have 6 composition books of my poetry, but everyone was saying I should try and write a normal journal. I had tried it before but I wasn't consistent. Now I am trying again. I hope it works well.
