Writing your own History

Do you write in a journal or a diary? Why not? If you do, then how often? Why only that often?

I'm not suggesting that you need to video-tape your day and then write a transcript of all that happens...

But, why should you? Isn't it basically a waste of time?

No?

You would be surprised, or maybe will be surprised when you see how much your memory increases, when you see how much more grateful you are (because of all the more things that you remember...), when you see how much more you love (due to your increased memory and gratitude...), and then you see how much more you more you truly appreciate your life (because of the above list...plus all that you have and are...).

And, how much do you love finding a nice blank journal or diary (or, if you must, you can type it all up...nothing wrong with a virtual diary or journal) and start that day or that night! Just think, Family History Work in the process!

Not to mention, how much more clearly you will be able to think about certain topics or arguments or thesis when you write them down or commit them to paper or screen...

Just a thought, for I am not pushing my ideas on anyone.
