Some may think I'm crazy...

"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection." - Anais Nin I'm just telling it how it is..... I pretty much write EVERYTHING down, because, I know there will come a time when I just can't remember the stuff I need to and want to, anymore. Having nothing to refer to, in order to keep the memories flowing, for me would be a tragedy. I have a little notebook that I carry with me. And...I will stop in the middle of something to scribble a few words down, so that I can later go back and write a more detailed account. It's more than journaling. The things I write down include a great variety of happenings. Thoughts, thoughts of others that I find to be valuable and meaningful, things I need to get done - that I know I will forget to do otherwise, goals - things I would like to accomplish, memories, the overall theme of conversations I have with people. As I said, pretty much everything. I have found it to be very beneficial to me, all this writing. I love to go back and read through and remember meaningful conversations, moments to treasure but are sometimes so easily forgotten. I don't know, it's just important to me. If I am going to live this life, I want to remember it.
