I've been keeping a journal since 1976. I don't write every day, just occasionally when the mood strikes me. It started because I wanted to be a writer when I was a child and it seemed like something a writer would do. I now have about 15 books in various colors, the kind that you buy in stationary stores. About two years ago I sat down and started reading them from the beginning to kind of get a midlife perspective on myself. It was pretty entertaining and depressing to see the things that I have spent my life focusing on and it gave me some ideas as to how I would like to move forward.
