I use Day One. I like it because it’s super easy to add pictures in with the text, and it’s not too complicated or fancy.

It sounds like you’ve already caught the vision of writing experiences down, and it will benefit both you and your posterity for years to come.

You must be so thankful to have the big spiritual things written down. Your children will appreciate being able to read about them some day. I think it’s good you now recognize the value of writing about the day to day experiences. You’ll appreciate that in years to come, and it’s never too late to start.

Oh, nice catch on the write vs. right. I fixed it so it makes sense now. Thank you!

I read with delight an incredible post from the son of a former colleague (http://www.amyreesanderson.com/blog/you-need-to-get-thick-skin-bud) and now this! Cali has put into words what has been in my heart for so long. I have followed this principle for years and have written more than my family or posterity will ever read. Some wonder why we write these things down. Cali summed it up beautifully in this article. “Anytime I write an experience down, it cements my feelings down on paper.” That is just one more reason I love to write. Yes. We want to write things down before good memories fade. We want to capture stories and sentiments for posterity. But we also write to cement our feelings, empower our minds, and testify of truth. And if somehow our words help others through hardship and difficulty, we are extra lucky to have had the opportunity. 3 Nephi 23:13
Thank you for your delightful posts.

I would write the spiritual big things but not much else. I wish now that I had written more of the day to day because now my children ask me what I did in a situation that they are now experiencing and I don’t remember much. I also wish I had more of my own mother’s feelings and stories. She passed when I my first child was 11 months old. So yes I totally agree with you about recording the special spiritual times but the day to day is so helpful to those after you.
I love your post. You have such great insight into the scriptures for being so young. Thanks you have helped this old woman through some difficult times. Keep giving in this very beautiful way.

Even if you didn’t mean to do that it makes sense to “write away” anyway we can, right? I loved this message. Your influence is appreciated even “unimaginable” as Elder Uchtdorf recently said.
