Always, always, always, ALWAYS date your journal or even your notebook entries! Or even if you just wrote something on an envelope or a napkin, or the back of a grocery receipt. ALWAYS write the date.
There is nothing more sad, heart-breaking, and crazy-making, than coming across an entry without a date and not knowing where or when that insight, that incident, that feeling or belief happened.
So true! I have experienced this, coming across something I wrote in the past, with the month and even the day, BUT NOT THE YEAR!
Yep! Nothing is more crazy-making than finding an old notebook full of entries (thoughts, hopes, dreams, grumps, reflections, insights) and not being able to remember just where you were when (you write them.) –CH
