Looking Back and Ahead
When I started journal writing years ago, I didn't realize it would become a habit that would produce over forty in number. They mean a lot to me, but sometime in the future I will have to decide what to do with many of them, especially the ones from high school and college. And yet I love reading the parts when my parents were alive and well. It is weird to return to days when I was young and naive, and yet bold at times. It's all there - the good, the bad, and the ugly through all the different stages of my life. The journals also reveal a lot of history. Sometimes I would write about particular events since the journals cover 1963-2019.
