I know that my wife has helped me to collect and organize one of the most influential journies in my life through scrapbooking my foreign exchange year abroad. But, as much as I would like to keep a daily journal, I'm not very good at it. Thank you for the push. I'm going to try to chronicle my journey a little more now. Too bad I don't have any great photos from the 80s that I can post. :-) This was a very good post and like Audra, made me think as well about how I track my journey through life.

I'm not huge on resolutions, because I don't want one more thing to measure the things I'm not doing. But I like your resolution. I think it's completely doable and I know the people in your life will deeply appreciate it. Like me for example, yesterday was our 16th wedding anniversary. Well, okay, you can start your resolution with someone else, no card necessary! Ha! I liked how your post made me think. I'm going to spend some time really looking at how I record the times of our life. And then I'm going to make some changes. Thanks. I really enjoyed this post.

For me personally since at all points of my life there's been a radio on somewhere, every life event seems tied to a song from somewhere from the past. Not only that, but TV in the early 70s and late 60s was a big part, commercials especially as they were geared (and remain so today) to get themselves implanted in your head. Who doesn't remember the commercials from the 80s? Like "Where's The Beef!"; http://bit.ly/18jhm. And the CrackerJack commercials from the 60s; http://bit.ly/mPOB. We don't carry stick or staffs anymore, they're replaced by memory sticks! But still, the important moments are there, and we associate them with the world around us, and pass them on when we can.
