I just wanted to say it's my Dad's birthday today, he passed away nearly 5 years ago. Shortly after he died we rediscovered a daily journal he kept during the year 1981, when I was 7 years old. It was just ordinary daily musings, details of his work day, etc, but to me, it was a treasure. Getting to read through it as an adult, a little bit older than he was when he kept it, was an experience I am truly grateful for.
I used his Old Spice mug during my morning shave today and wore his old work jacket
This was my intention, and still is, for keeping a journal. My dad passed in 2017 and there is very little left behind of his. All we know is what we were told and learned by being with him is whole life. But you know there is a lot more kept inside that people don‘t share. I almost want to overshare in my journal. So when I pass the people that find my journal will understand just who I was.
Bullet journaling for about 5 years. Leuchturm 1917 A5 dot grid notebook. A new one every year. Calendar, daily list, intentions, key ideas and notes, projects, and long running topics. Mostly early morning with coffee and end of day wrap up. Some notes during the day as needed.
Strictly utilitarian. No art flourishes, color, stickers etc.
Use a black uniball vision elite 0.5. Would like to use a fountain pen, though my fine Lamy Safari and Med Pilot Metropolitan are much too wide.

Nice!! did you actually fill those up year after year or just start a new one with the new year regardless of being full or not?
