thank you... excellent suggestions and also something i think i will teach my kids to do daily also... i am going to look up the FB page and book you mentioned know.

just a question re: blogs.... does it keep forever? what i mean is, i used to quite like to journal, and also look back on things past written... so if i switch to blogging on the internet, do i have this option to go back years from now and see what i wrote, or am i better to write in a journal? sorry i have no experience with blogs.
