I have kept this blog for 14 years and the other in Japanese for even 19 years. Astonishing myself is to know how long I have kept them. My father used to keep diary and was a diligent writer of letters to friends or family members. I might be inherited with that trait from him. Even though I have written little about my private life in the blogs, they are a kind of diary to me, where I record what I am concerned about, comparable to my father's diary.
I sometimes wonder how to do with these two blogs in the future when I could hardly continue them. They should be put an end when I could not intellectually keep them. I still, however, would go on writing something until the time limit.
The main reason is just, as told above, to keep personal records of concern for me. I realize of forgetfulness more and more as I get older now. These blog posts often bring me back to the days when I wrote them. There are topics which I totally forgot. Remembering old things through those posts is not only making me feel nostalgic but also is helpful to me to consider of the situation around me at that time. I have not expected this when I started these blogs.
As told above, I won't hesitate to delete these blogs completely when I am not capable of keeping them. But memories of old friends, either in ham radio or not, are precious for me. Some of them should be remembered by others as well, I often think. Too sad their memories are being lost as time goes by.
Recently, the words professor Totsuka has come on in mind. Only 8 years since I posted this;

It is not easy for me to execute "writing/reading/listening more carefully as well as deliberately". I would try. "To be enlightened in life is not to die well but to live well." This motto is even more difficult for me. The less the life span left for me is getting, the more I should be diligent to live.
It is a freezing morning here.
