This ends two years of diary and I am going to declare a recess for a while to see if perhaps the time I spend on this cannot be more profitably spent in reading and other activities. [[line]] As always, after thinking this over, I've decided that journal should go on, so go on it does. Ten or fifteen minutes a day shouldn't interfere with my other activities and I think this journal brings many benefits: 1.) It gets you in the habit of picking out the worthwhile things that happen. 2.) It is practice in writing. 3.) It is a reservoir of ideas. 4.) It leaves a satisfaction of having created something each day. 5.) It is an interesting record, and perhaps some day a valuable one.
