First Journal Entry

Amazing!  I've worked as a computer professional for over 15 years, I've been a writer all my life, and yet today (at the age of 47) I am creating my blog for the first time.  Actually, I created two blogs today.  This one, for general journaling, and another called "Greg's Freethought", for my atheist rantings.   I never realized how easy (and fun) blogging can be.

I have no idea how to approach journaling, so I'm just going to start, and see where it takes me.

No doubt my first few attempts will be awkward and hesitant, but I have no doubt I will get better at it as I go along.

It is high time I started doing this.  

I have never taken the time to record my daily thoughts and activities.  I think it could be very interesting (and enlightening.)

It's so easy to forget how we change over time.  We are never the same person from one moment to the next. Each experience, each joy, each sorrow, each adventure, each moment of every day changes us.   If we don't record our daily experiences, we forget who we were, and we lose the continuity of our lives.
