I use my blog as a journal although I don't post many emotional depth of feeling like I would in a journal. So perhaps I should keep another journal for those thoughts. I laughed myself silly one night going over my teen journal. It was fun to visit with the young me and see how silly, and dorky I was at times, but also how many life changing events I went through...I would love to have a journal of my Dad's to read. He was a wonderful writer and story teller but never kept a journal. Hopefully my kids and grandkiddos will like my blog books someday.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-7434899019250590092011-09-25T16:12:04.770-05:002011-09-25T16:12:04.770-05:00How I wish I'd kept a journal by my side at al...How I wish I'd kept a journal by my side at all times for many, many years.

I am in the best place ever now so I am generous with myself and others, something I was not good at years ago. I had high expectations of others and even more of myself. You are the first person I have heard of who really has journals through so many years. That is really interesting to me.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-1561214918472128592011-09-25T11:12:22.312-05:002011-09-25T11:12:22.312-05:00What I realize when looking into my past is that I...What I realize when looking into my past is that I'm much less naive now.

Blogging is the closest I have come. I print it all out in book form at the end of each year and I now have 3 books. I love that one of my granchildren loves to go through them when he comes to visit. My hope is that they will find a strong family connection through the love that I have for them as they read it. <br />I envy great writing like yours, Rick. You are able to gather stong thought images and write them in a wonderful way. Thanks for inspiring the trest of us!!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063538863025012110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-35643020189330964242011-09-25T00:59:40.638-05:002011-09-25T00:59:40.638-05:00Ithink it is great keeping journaals like this>...Ithink it is great keeping journaals like this>you can read that after some years and see how you evolved from the life and circumstances back than.Wisdom comes with age..that is what older people say:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-76753377789396561642011-09-24T22:17:26.051-05:002011-09-24T22:17:26.051-05:00I read one of my old journals from ten years ago a...I read one of my old journals from ten years ago and noticed how much I worried about my family.
