These are beautiful, inspiring, and--for me at least--serendipitous. Just yesterday, I resolved to start a daily journal for personal retrospection. This post motivated me to actually write my first entry today. Thank you.
The Hike Guy's journals were highly influential in my original motivation for starting a journal. For some reason I had thought of this blog post the other day, and felt that it would be good to share with other Hackers. I am glad to hear that these journals inspired you as they once inspired me.
