Why Journal

My dad wrote a book about all the patriarchs in his family, and in it were excerps of journal entries from his dad. Most of them were so simple and basic, documenting the weather for the day, and a couple of things that happened that day. They were just a couple of sentences each, but they helped everyone else get to know him a little bit better. As I was reading them, I thought, "That seems so simple! I should be able to do that." So, I have a goal to write something down everyday, even if it's just about the weather--though, hopefully there'll be something more--so I can help my family and me get to know me a little better.
