I took a sick day from work today because I was feeling really cold, hoarse, and lazy. I tried to do research on Flash MX to see how it would work with Justin's DorkPad, but unfortunately, it appears it won't work with the language he wants it to.
I'm not going to install Wow on Ant's computer (he took the laptop to work, which houses the Wow I usually play). So I decide to explore internet for a bit.
So the interesting part is, I reread my journal (including this one, but mostly the other one). There are a lot of things that've changed in one year that I completely forgot about. What is the reason for writing a journal? So you remember these things, and hopefully learn from it, or see how your thinking has changed....but basically it's a reminder.
Take your current values as they are now, and reread your journal from the beginning. Notice patterns then? Mine was the need for more money, the sense of urgency, bouts of depression, questions of God, visiting people, fixing up my car, having no money, tough time with mom, etc etc. A lot of things are good to forget because you got over them, or things have changed. How many things are similar when you compare now vs then? Have you improved and changed? What promises did you break?
I've forgotten many things to be grateful for, and I feel bad. I'm rereading my journal right now to remind myself. And all those New Year's resolution that didn't lead anywhere.
