Do you keep a journal/diary?
 
I'd like to start one, but I'm often too careless to be strict with it.

I don't but I read Rainman's diary every Thursday. Disturbing to say the least.

Iowanian 01-13-2011 01:05 PM

no.

I'm not a 12 year old girl.

I'm sure yours will be delightful.

I kept a journal and wrote in it everyday I was in Haiti to remember everything to the fullest, don't have one now, nor do I plan on doing it.

Oh cmon, a number of the Founding Fathers had one. Reagan had one.

It would be so cool to receive one of my grandpa's journals from when he was in his 20s, and I could spend a minute each day reading about his thoughts and actions from when he was my age. You don't think that would be cool?

If you used the time you spend writing in a diary to workout instead, the boys will be more likely to pay attention to you.

It's a good idea, particularly if you have a poor memory and can't remember why you did certain things.

Iowanian 01-13-2011 01:21 PM

I keep a "book of facts" and have since college.

It's not about my feelings or thoughts though. It's notes on business conversations or projects so I know what I said, what I promised and visa versa, and i have used it to show someone why I did something or didn't down the road.

The biggest problem with it as a grownup is time.

My wife's grandmother had a set that is probably more than knee high on the ground that some thumbed through after she passed. I guess from that perspective, it is neat, but It's not something I have time for and it's not something I'd make time for if I had it.

I'll just leave my book of man stuff...photos of men of my family doing man things(hunting etc)

No, but I like to carry a little notebook to jot down stupid things I think of.

I keep an outdoor, hunting and fishing journal so that I can look back and see what time, day, temperature, and what the fish and or animals were doing at the time. It really helps me to narrow down where to start. I also keep a journal of activities that are special that my kids and I do, like first chiefs game, canoe trips, etc.

Great, tooge. Have you always kept those two journals? If not, do you think the entries have helped you keep afresh than the events in which you did not keep the journal?

I do when I am in Denmark. I write about things that happen every day and it keeps the trip fresher in my mind as time goes by. Just video and stills don't capture enough of a good vacation.
