We are already planning to do it again in 2027 when we will both turn 40!  I have been somewhat journaling in my journals but not consistently and thought why not just start to blog again. Nobody reads it but it is a quicker way for me to journal then writing....since now I can type a heck of a lot faster and hey, maybe I will click with someone.
