Journal goal accomplished

I have never been good at keeping a journal.  I always hated the idea of sitting down and writing -- you can get writers cramp, and also because there is no back space or delete buttons on a sheet of paper.  I found it frustrating.

But technology these days makes it much easier to keep a journal.  I started a private blog for myself in 2009 in hopes that I would do better at journaling.  I figured I could sit down during my lunch hours when I worked and type away.  Yeah, that never really happened.  I journaled once or twice every 3 or 4 months and that was pretty much it.  Pathetic, I know.

I realized that I needed to improve in this area so I set a goal to journal 3 times a month during the year 2012.  Well on December 2nd I accomplished my journaling goal!  Wahoo!

I actually enjoyed doing this undertaking.  In fact, I enjoyed it so much that instead of doing 36 journal entries this year I did 53 -- which is a major accomplishment for me!

This is one goal that I am going to continue year after year.  It's been quite therapeutic, and a great way for preserving memories in my life.
