Diaries...Part 2

“A well kept diary is one of the most interesting productions of human industry. The procession of a faithful record of two or three years of our life, especially if it be a period of moral or intellectual struggle and development, or of both combined, is an ample and abiding reward for the steadiness of effort required. All well-written biography is delightful and profitable reading. Autobiography is by far the most so, and our own becomes to us in after-years peculiarly pleasing and useful. We change so much and we forget so much, while still remaining the same self, that only they have put themselves on paper can understand the charm of renewing our acquaintance with our long ago selves.” - Rev. William Sutton, February 1886

Start of the year...not so good

As usual, new year’s resolutions never quite work out and along the way you seem to change them bit by bit throughout the year in the hope that it might be achieved. However, by the end of the year, the resolution is completely distorted of its original intention, and thus you promise that you’ll do it the next year. The cycle follows for the rest of your life. Sometimes these resolutions do work for some people and for others it’s a chore that never gets done.
