And there&#8217;s no good reason I haven&#8217;t posted. As I sit here typing this, I&#8217;m thinking in real-time why it is that I don&#8217;t do this more often. You see, I have a Saturday morning reminder in my phone that pops up every week, but I end up placing it at the very bottom of my priority list in my mind.

Part of me likes the idea of spending a little time each week to document my life, if for no other reason than for posterity.
