On writing a notebook....

Came across a nice wrote of Joan Didion's, from her essay On Writing A Notebook : "Remember what it was to be me: that is always the point...our notebooks give us away, for however dutifully we record what we see around us, the common denominator of all we see is always, transparently, shamelessly, the implaceable 'I."

Remember what it was to be me - Ilike that! Captures nicely the desire not just to share but also to somehow preserve the things that impress and enthuse us.
