Hey Brian & Candace, saw your website and found it interesting. You might not know who I am, but I sure know your parents and grandparents, on both sides, the Stucki’s and the Tingeys.

I just finished my history. I’am thinking about publishing it so my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will know a little of their history.

Tell your mom, dad, and your grandparents hello for me. Good to see you on the web. Brent Stucki

I am also a decendant of John S. Stucki, or rather my husband is, and recently read his journal. It is out of print and I would like to have them reprint it or find another copy somewhere. Do you have any suggestions?

Rachel that is a good question. Once you start making it a point to write down your memories, they seem to come throughout your normal day. Maybe I’ll see something or someone in a day and that reminds me of a memory. When that happens, I use my phone to email myself. I always have to record it somewhere or I’ll forget.

just put a contact in your phone called note and put in your own email address. Then, write a text message to “note”. Or, if you can do it the old fashion was and write it down on a piece of paper to write about later.

I love writing in a journal too. How do you think of things to write about everyday in your memory journal? Back when I was consistently writing in my journal everyday, it was weird how I would think in these clear, perfect sentance thoughts, almost as if I was thinking about my day in terms of how I was going to write it in my journal. Is that weird? Thanks for reminding me of how much I love doing that. I will get my journal out right now and write something in it wince it has been so long.

I have received alot of emails about this topic, and a lot of them are in line with these two comments. Most people keep somewhat of a journal.

From what I’ve received because of this post, I’d feel safe to assume that anyone who writes in a journal would be able to double their efforts and get much more then what they are getting now. There are alot of thoughts, memories and experiences that never get written down.

Writing in a journal is always good, but keeping a regular schedule is what is the most restorative for me.

I would love to read your journals because it would be interesting to me to see your view. I have kept one going most of my life too…I also still have the journal I still keep on MY KIDS (you!)

I started doing something like this on my mission. I did a day to day and then i did a spiritual journal where I put the inspirations i had that day or really special experiences that i wanted to remember. Stopped writing in it afterwards but then started again as a thing to give to my brother when he goes on his mission. Not too long so he won’t read it but some insites and good stories and good ideas for him to use and learn from. i’ll have to be sure to get it back and keep it for my kids and so on also.
