Do You Keep A Journal?

Tweet

I have been journaling for many years. I’ve been keeping track of family history in general. I have a notebook and pen on the side table of the chair where I sit to watch TV downstairs and I make it a habit to watch the 6:30 PM evening news every day, if possible. Any newsworthy items, I jot down in my notebook. I also have another notebook on the chest of drawers that sits beside the computer desk upstairs and I check the daily news on the computer. There’s usually always something of interest to record from that source. Then, at night, before I go to bed, I write down any family matters and record the date of whatever may have happened, that particular day within the family and I also include friends. I also save all my Date Books from years past in which I have recorded social activities and business trips and meeting notes. I never expected to be able to use any of this information on MyLot, but all these notebooks have proved to be useful. And I will continue to write in my journals. My grandchildren will have plenty to read, if they should want to know about such things in the future.
