Keep track

Today's thought is about keeping a record as in a journal. Look left on my blog...in the column...see the LDS Journal.com icon. Click to be linked. It is free, easy to figure out, kept secure, and most of all...entries are able to be printed in a hardbound book.

Hooray, now I can type and don't have to figure out how to memorize my combination to my journals (remember the little key that was used to keep it private??) Give it a try and let's start tracking our lives instead of our to-do lists. Click on the link on the left and have a user name and password ready. Then just begin, you don't even have to worry what to write about. My mom's journals are funny to read her teenage thoughts. Here's a few starter ideas:
  • What was it like: your hometown, your siblings, your parents, the family automobile, your school, your childhood friends (Laura, Lori, Shelley, Nanci...yep, back to the ol' Elem school).
  • Why did you marry your husband. What were the things that impressed you right off the bat.
  • Where have you been in the world? What trips have you taken and what happened?
  • Who has passed on and what do you most miss about them?
  • What are the experiences things that you have witnessed God's hand in your life?
  • Your children, what funny stories do you want them to remember forever?
