I like your thoughts around the journaling and valuing your days as you get older. I’ve been journaling on and off (mostly off) for the last 25 years. I am trying to do better now especially because as I’m in agreement with you that I value my time as I’m aging, I also am forgetting so much more these days. Writing it down helps solidify the days events. Thanks for the inspiration to keep at it :)

I appreciate the comment, Kelsey. Twenty-five years of journaling is no joke. Have you read any of your entries from back then lately?

I recently read some journal entries from high school that were hilarious. I was amazing by how much I've changed for the better.

Me too.

It’s almost embarrassing to read now. Will request to be buried with all junior high and high school upon my death.

I took it a little personally there where you called out those who have few and irregular posts. I won't hold it against you. As always, I enjoyed reading it.
