"Thoughts accidentally thrown together become a frame in which more may be developed and exhibited. Perhaps this is the main value of a habit of writing, of keeping a journal--that so we remember our best hours and stimulate ourselves."
--Henry David Thoreau's journal, January 22, 1852
Could we substitute "keeping a journal" for "keeping a blog" or "making a scrapbook"? I believe we can.
