Saving...
FOREWARD Years are the milestones that tell us the distance we have traveled. And while each passing year robs us of something, we can always recapture it in memory. Strange to say, even those things that are hard to endure are pleasant to remember. Through the medium of our written chronicles, we can turn back the pages of Time and review the events of yesteryear as they apply to our own lives. . . a lasting record of our activities, our experiences and our viewpoints . . . a living memoir of things attempted and things done . . . a vivid story that is ever new and ever refreshing to us in hours of recollection. This diary is designed for just such a purpose. It can be started, on any day of the year and record the events of any five years on your journey through Life.
