Do you keep a journal
I have had a new but empty one for a while but now I have it started it for my nieces to have someday. I wanted to write tonite but just got too sleepy.

I don't know if you would call it a journal or not. I didn't write in it daily. But at the suggestion of someone on another long forgotten chatroom, I started writing to my granddaughter when she was born. Events and milestones in her life; things that happened bringing up memories of my life experiences. When her brother came along, I included him. A hodge podge of their childhood experiences they might not remember and my remembrances and life learnings from a long, and hopefully less dramatic, journey through life. I entitled it Reflections and it filled two of the oversized binders in print form when I gave it to them as they entered adolescence.

@Monday2 On the flip side, my mom kept a diary all her life. Those from the last few years before dementia set in were among the belongings I got. With great anticipation of some insights to her life, I sat down to thumb through them and page after page was a one sentence summary of the weather that day and a notation that "Nothing happened" or something like "visited neighbor".
