21 Keeping a diary----recording precious moments
It has been a long time since I kept a diary, but I am then thinking more and more about the value of some kind of journal.
Although writing daily in a diary is tough, it's good a habit to have, especially when learning a language, or if you want to be some kind of writer. Getting into the habit of writing a little bit everyday, is supposedly one of the important things a writer can do.
Yesterday, I was thinking about great scenes of movies and I got to thinking about the great scenes of my own life, scenes that I should remember, that I should write down somewhere.
As time goes by, I tend to forget those things. As time goes by, the things tend to lose focus, they tend to become less sharp, they fade a little.
So, I'm starting to write stuff down more and more.
It's amazing how many things wakes experience in a day or in a week., but if you don't take the time to write some of those things down, the days just blur.
It's hard to separate one day from another, time surely does fly by.
Capturing the precious moments in a lives with words, in little stories, seems necessary to make your own lives more colorful, even when we feel a little blue. We can look at those memories, those moments, and feel uplifted.
I hope you agree.
Talk about it:
1)Do you keep a diary?
2)How often do you write it?
3)What do you write about?
4)Is your diary private or do you let other people read it?
5)Do you enjoy writing?
6)Do you have a web blog? would you like to start one?
7)Do you ever go back and read what you wrote a long time ago?
8)How do think you can improve as a writer? |
