I’m not the kind of person who has trouble looking back to review a year that’s over.  I enjoy the process. I’m thankful for my calendar which records the appointments, dinner plans, travel dates, to-do lists, phone numbers, and any other random thing I don’t want to forget.  I must write things down, or I never remember what or where I’m supposed to be or do.  I don’t think it’s a result of accumulated birthdays, I’ve always had a partial sieve for a memory.
