It is another nice day - 26*C/78*F. We were up early this morning because Himself had a 8 a.m. golf date. Patios opened yesterday so he was able to have his favourite breakfast on the patio of the golf course dining room before he came home. He said he had a good time. Now he is on a motorcycle ride with a different friend.
Different times over the years, I have kept a journal. How I wish I was more faithful at keeping it up. As I read through past Spark blogs, I come across things I had forgotten about. That is one of the reasons there are so many memory pages here. Seeing the words help bring back the memories. Even seeing journal entries from just after we got married bring back parts of those days to my mind. There are things I can't remember that I know if I had written about them, they would come. (I couldn't figure out if there is a way to have them in proper order back at the beginning of this blog so they are scattered in with the current entries. It just came to me as I wrote that, that I could have started a separate blog just for my Spark memories.)
Perhaps I will learn to be more faithful with this blog. One thing about a paper journal is that I can write things for ME. When what I write is on a public page like this, I have to be careful.
I am still working through my Spark pages. I am saving some of the pages because of the pictures. Some of the pictures have disappeared from my computer over the years and I am enjoying seeing them again. That is another project I need to work on - pictures. For whatever reason, at the beginning of 2021, pictures I download from my camera or phone don't go into monthly folders like they used to. Each picture has a number linked to it but it can be very time-consuming to find the one I am looking for. I want to find a program or way to keep pictures sorted so they are easier to find when I want to find them. On the topic of pictures, I still have pictures that I need to mount in albums. Why am I such a procrastinator? We have been stuck at home for months. I could have everything caught up and sorted and excess tossed out but no, there is still a long 'to-do' list.
Back on the topic of old Spark blogs. I don't save the comments but it is interesting to read them again. I joined SparkPeople in 2004. I don't think we had blogs then. There was some kind of journal page, similar to the Message Boards because each person could update their own journal and others could make comments. SP warned us when they were eliminating that feature. The only reason I bring it up is because friendships were formed around those journals too. I remember being hesitant when I wrote my first Spark blog. I don't have that one because I deleted it some time ago. (I don't remember why.) Some of the comments are from numbers [CD7023171 Thanks for the memories of home.] with no picture or link to anyone so that person must have left SparkPeople and took their page down. Others are by people I remember. Some are from those who left but still have their page although they have probably forgotten all about it because it was written was 5 or 6 years (or more) ago.
Enough already. The house is quiet and I could be doing something more useful than re-living old memories.
