Anyone remember the series Kung Fu from the 70's? They made a continuation of it in the 90's about the protagonist's grand and great grandson. The 90's show was alright, if not a little cheesy at times. The one thing that stuck with me about it was that the main character kept his grandfather's, father's, and his own journal, receiving and passing down wisdom. That was such a cool concept to me at the time and still is. I journal sporadically, but have never been able to maintain a daily journal over long stretches of time. I've had the best success with text files, but even they are sprinkled all around. I've recently tried journaling in a physical notebook and there is something very pleasant about it. Do any of you journal?
The family and I had a wonderful evening out yesterday with a friend from church. We sat in the back courtyard of a small local brewery and enjoyed some food and drinks with the pups. The weather was perfect and later we walked all around our small, but lately modernized downtown. Lots of people were out, business was good, but it wasn't crowded. The community was alive and healthy. Evenings like these make me glad I never put down roots in some remote place. This morning we're having a baby shower and saying farewell to a friend heading off to medical school. Community is so important.
