My journey this week returns to a column I wrote on July 26, 2020, where I introduced the subject of keeping a journal with emphasis on the pandemic. Fast forwarding to today, we are still dealing with the pandemic. I want to suggest again that everyone record their life stories in log or diary format. Journaling is a personal record of occurrences, experiences and reflections kept on a regular basis. If one will record life-force events, before memories fade or are forgotten, through the craft of writing, a record of your values and priorities will be produced.
