Those of you who have struggled to read through my meaningless writing well know that writing is not my strong point. I took all of the mathematics I could and stayed away from composition classes or any class that might require inordinate amounts of writing.
In retrospect after 69 years I wish I had started writing in a journal in grade school as my wife's students did.
A friend of mine has a collection of journals he has kept from the low grades of grade school and he still writes in his journals - he is now about 65. He wrote to me recently telling me he had been reading his journals and had found where we had played an instrumental duet at a Children's Convalescent Home. That would have been about 50 years ago!!
My sister writes a letter to God each morning. This way she can return to visit the matters in her life at an earlier time.
Writing is becoming more and more a part of our society.
PLEASE encourage your grandchildren and children to write more.
An old grandpa will thank you.
