　　21 Keeping a diary----recording precious moments
It has been a long time since I kept a diary, but I am then thinking more and more about the value of some kind of journal¹.
Although writing daily in a diary is tough, it's good a habit to have, especially when learning² a language, or if you want to be some kind of writer. Getting into the habit of writing a little bit everyday, is supposedly one of the important things a writer can do.
Yesterday, I was thinking about great scenes of movies and I got to thinking about the great scenes of my own life, scenes that I should remember, that I should write down somewhere.
As time goes by, I tend to forget those things. As time goes by, the things tend to lose focus, they tend to become less sharp, they fade a little.
So, I'm starting to write stuff³ down more and more.
It's amazing how many things wakes experience in a day or in a week., but if you don't take the time to write some of those things down, the days just blur⁴.
It's hard to separate one day from another, time surely does fly by.
Capturing⁵ the precious moments in a lives with words, in little stories, seems necessary to make your own lives more colorful, even when we feel a little blue. We can look at those memories, those moments, and feel uplifted.
I hope you agree.
Talk about it:
1)Do you keep a diary?
2)How often do you write it?
3)What do you write about?
4)Is your diary private or do you let other people read it?
5)Do you enjoy writing?
6)Do you have a web blog? would you like to start one?
7)Do you ever go back and read what you wrote a long time ago?
8)How do think you can improve as a writer?
