Review this year. Think about it.

My friend, Tom, sent me one of these, you know, computer questionnaires. I usually write them off, roll my eyes and say "There is no way I am forwarding these pop tests to my friends about their favorite ice cream or whatever."
I hate chain letters and board games. But this strikes me a little differently.
My new most favorite life experience is the travel opportunities at the beginning of the year. I think it is a great time to think and re-evaluate what life is to me. These questions kind of do that too.

There is something to be said for many of these questions. No, you don't have to send me your answers or risk a curse or participate in a chain letter. Maybe these are just some some little thoughts to re-evaluate the year, personally. Are we doing what we want to be doing and living like we think we are?

You might want to think about some of these questions and share some and keep some to yourself.

Just a little food for thought. Public journaling is still kind of a strange idea to me so I will not print my answers for everyone. Besides, it is not mine that matter. It is yours.
