  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Anyone else keep a personal journal??

I don't keep personal daily diary. However I have four separate blank books which I write in from time to time:

1. Record of bank transfers online, important contact details, records of important events (useful for court evidence maybe), and any useful recipes or formulas which grab my interest. I try to remember to write the date of every entry, and rule off under each entry.

2. Camp diary. The family has a place that we have been going to for years. I record things like the names of folk who go there, what game animals were seen, what maintenance was done to things like buildings, machinery, water supply etc.....along with any other observations or notes of interest. So if we are wondering when we last replaced the boat mooring chain or changed the oil in the diesel generator we can look it up. My Dad kept such a diary for years, now I keep one.

3. Spiritual journal. Notes relating to dreams, coincidences, intuition, psychic experiences, answers to prayer, or anything that might indicate that there is more to life than we might think. I started writing in this maybe eighteen months ago. This book contains some interesting and inspiring material now and I am absolutely convinced that life is much bigger and more wonderful than we may generally imagine.

4. Daily diary relating to our business. Phone orders, records of payments, phone messages etc etc.
 
Sort of.
I breed fish, rabbits, chickens and hatch my own eggs so I write all of that info down and also keep track of when I plant seeds in the garden etc.
I make my own ham, cheese, corned beef, sauerkraut, pickles, tomato products, mayo etc so that all gets jotted down too.
I write down what plant or orchid flowers when, and how long the flower lasts in my botanical gardens.

You hatch your own eggs? Whoa!
 
I dont keep a daily journal, but I have kept a journal of my camping, hiking, & woodsloafing, for many years !!!! mostly so I can look back on my adventures, from year to year. I write about any animals, or strange plants, that I see, pretty much just whatever happens on the trip.
