It looks like you are using red yarn and that the pages were more accessible than when they are in the filofax archive books.

I don't know how many books I've got in there (I don't go back and read them very often--too cringe-inducing. And one reading prompted me to destroy all journals from ages 12 - 23. A move I regret now.) But I kept a separate pregnancy journal (separate from Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018034885675468448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-47602179697687829342011-07-18T06:19:35.458-04:002011-07-18T06:19:35.458-04:00I find it very interesting to be able to "go ...I find it very interesting to be able to "go back in time". I recently found a box of my old planners. They are mostly from my teen period and provided quite an interesting read.<br />Man, I am glad I am not a teenager again and I must say that "getting more mature" has its benefits. ;-)Schollerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587102341098276705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-16258718243892568722011-07-18T03:48:54.195-04:002011-07-18T03:48:54.195-04:00Wonderful to see these.

I have saved my diary pages from when I had IVF (clinic appointments, drug regimes etc) and added them to their baby boxes.... so many memories on those Filofax pages.<br /><br />Didn't think how the paper would deteriorate over the passage of time. Think I may scan copies of the more important pages as a permanent electronic record.Globetrotting Cactihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03142907202249738302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-86928325578318035502011-07-17T22:51:17.611-04:002011-07-17T22:51:17.611-04:00I have been inspired to journal again...

In the moment you truly think, "I won't forget this stuff. I do it everyday." But you do. I have a childcare template I typed up (!) when I left #1, 2, and 3 with someone for a long weekend.

If I ever read back it immediately triggers the memory to the day’s events.<br /><br />I am surprised at how dark the cotton cream is but the white only shows yellowing around the edges.Saffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747509130226641888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-74823400169757279092011-07-17T04:03:33.114-04:002011-07-17T04:03:33.114-04:00What a great post!

I wonder now if it's worth it - although as you point out it can be interesting to look back on!<br /><br />One thing I did up until digital photography was to keep a small photo album for each holiday. I wish now I'd completed a journal to marry it to, or even just written and files in the album.

I find it fascinating to look back over my fathers diaries.
