It's not a new idea
I have many friends and acquaintances around the world who keep journals of one type or another, and I've been interested in doing one myself, although never actually kept it up.
This year however I've been spurred on to do it, because of a special Christmas gift I received from my Son's Girlfriend. The '365' Journal is terrific, and I'm now on day 7. To make it more interesting I've decided to take pictures of some of my activities, which means I'll also have a pictorial record of A Year in my Life, which will accompany my scribbles and be interesting -for me at least-to watch on New Years Day in 2014. A kind of mini time capsule.
2013 promises to be a big year for me and hopefully for you too.
