We are blessed with journals from ancestors. Nothing really personal, just a few lines every day or so about who came to visit, a remork on world events, day to day harvest and shopping. I never wanted a diary sort of thing. I agree that things written down can cause pain if not curated. Yet several family members journal as part of therapy and self awareness. Reading my grandfather's excitement over the end of the war or my mother's engagement was pretty special. -- Ladies of Lallybroch Social Board
