Promoting the joy of journaling

Journaling is one of the most beautiful things you can do for yourself and for others.  How do you feel when you come across a love letter from 80 years ago?  When you are out shopping for ephemera, are you thrilled over old photographs, ticket stubs, handwritten notes?  Just think of what you leave behind for someone when you record bits of history, accounts of family outings, photos and ephemera, all tucked neatly into a journal.  My children are so happy already over the photos albums I created as they were all growing up.  They have told me that many of their friends do not have such treasures.  They are also very sentimental to think about the journals full of family stories that I've created.
