Someday when I look back at 2012, what will I remember?
I'll have my Photo a Day Challenge, with snapshots of daily life recorded in photos. But I want more then that - I want to see what I was like, how I changed through the years.
My best friend found a journal that asks 365 questions, one for every day of the year. It runs for five years, asking the same questions year after year so you can look back and see how your answers changed (or stayed the same) over time.
So I'm jumping into it this year, 2012.
