Letters to my son...

It may sound old fashioned but I keep a journal...not just any 'ol journal, however, this one is special. It's made up of letters to my son. I began it when he was born and have kept writing until this very day. Sometimes weeks or even a month or two may go by in between letters, but when something noteworthy in my life (or his) comes along I make sure to document it and ensure that it's there for him to learn from and reflect on in later years. I mention this because I do the same thing for our company. When items come up that are of an important nature I have a specific place where I log them for future reference. None of us can be expected to remember everything and if there's one thing that's certain, specific situations and circumstances will arise time after time...why not create a reference source from which you can seek advice and wisdom for such events down the road? Simply put, it doesn't take much time and it cannot ever hurt to have additional sources from which to garner knowledge going forward!
