One of the great things about keeping a journal is being able to go back to it six months, one year, five years down the road and revisit that time in my life.  Reading old entries remind me of what I’ve been through, how far I’ve come, and how much farther I have to go.

I recently installed a widget called LinkWithin which generates related stories at the bottom of each entry.  I’ve been having fun re-discovering old entries and seeing photos of Baby Champuru and how much she has changed over the course of this year.  It really makes me glad that I’ve been relatively diligent about keeping the blog up to date.  It’s my virtual scrapbook and I know it will only become more precious as the years go by and Baby Champuru is no longer a “baby.” *sigh*
