Keep a Journal!
These are interesting times. For some they may be excruciatingly difficult, for others, merely uncertain. For all of us, change is in the air, and it might not necessarily be welcome.
We want to hold onto our jobs, our homes, our lives. It’s difficult to confront the possibility of not being able to keep up with a mortgage payment, yet some have had to face that difficult crossroad. One of the best ways I know of to keep on top on your life is to write down your thoughts. Sometimes just looking carefully at a situation can help it to resolve. At the very least, it might give you some insight, and a more philosophical look at what may be around the corner.
At the worst, it will give your children and grandchildren a first-hand glimpse of what life was like in 2009, and a way in the future for you to look back and reflect on your past.
