I read a few comments from Elder Steven Snow given as the commencement address. i have been a more faithful journal keeper but as of late I had other things get in the way. It is time for me to REPENT! Here are some highlights I read in the Deseret News online this morning:
“Some of the most inspiring history comes from the diaries and journals of everyday people like you and me,” he said. “You need not be a prominent church leader and a copious journal keeper … but your story is important. Contribute to our body of history by keeping your own story.”
Although one’s journal may not be highlighted in some future display, it will be treasured by one's posterity for generations to come.
“Truth of the matter is if you don’t write your story it may not get written,” he said. “Worse still it may be told by someone else in a way you do not desire. The one who has the last word is the one who writes it down. Remember to keep a journal.”

I am so thankful I took the time to note these events pictured above
Question: How does one go back and retrace our unwritten entries?
Answer: Apologetically, WE can't!! I just need to start over and go forward!
