I still have them all. I haven't read them for ages but I'm glad I did them because alot of my memories disappeared out of my head when I had encephalitis in my 20's. I don't have time to keep one now - I wish I did though. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

It serves two purposes; one for when I'm due an annual appraisal and second for when I have to correct someone else when recalling a past conversation. The only personal journal I keep is a sailing journal. It's actually a log of events, navigational entries, repairs, life-cycle replacement parts, etc. Keeping personal journals or diaries can get you into a lot of trouble.

Some of my dreams are very good but definitely not something I would write down. And then some are so stupid I can't figure where they came from. I have the occasional bad dream where I wake up with my heart beating in my mouth, don't want to write them down either. Still interesting idea. When I was a child I experienced night terrors, which continued until my early twenties. I swear that the reason the went away is because I wrote them down and created stories out of them. I thought I had lost those years ago, but low and behold an old friend whom I haven't seen in 14 years contacted me a few weeks ago and sent me a box of photos etc of things that belonged to me. The stories were in there! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

LOL! Freudian slip, Ruth? LOL, no Diana. Just bad typing. It should have been good place to dump it. This fancy rubber keyboard requires a little harder keystroke I think.
