1988-2026

I might have you by a few.

Wow that’s awesome! How old were you when you started?

I was 15 nearing 16. There were a precious few people who had computers but not us, not yet (1990). I had a good old locking diary-book of sorts. Of those 365 (366?) days in 1988 I believe I only missed a diary entry 14 times.

It is an incredible thing, to take a single day - say 4 February - and look back at your life on that single day for nearly forty years.

That does sound amazing! I had journals/diaries too, when I was a teenager, but I have no idea where they are. They may have been tossed when we sold my mom's house a few years ago... too bad! (Or hopefully that's the case haha.)

If you have not re-started already, I suggest strongly that you consider it.
