First, it is important for your family, for your friends, for people you will inspire that you don't even know, and it is important to preserve bits of history that future generations would not know about unless you wrote about it.

I was so grateful for the journal she kept when my brothers and I were teenagers. It gives me a bit of insight into advice she might be able to give me now that my own kids are in their teens. She didn't write a lot, but every word is a treasure.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147413132595250490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227735267789306069.post-54740312269507192762009-04-11T15:06:00.000-07:002009-04-11T15:06:00.000-07:00Hi LindaThanks for your sweet comment today.

That's actually why I write my blog too...just to document my days. I feel so blessed to be living my ordinary life.

Often they've come near throught these, though they've beeen gone many years now.<BR/><BR/>You are wise to leave a legacy of this sort for your children & grandchildren.
