Always keep a camera with you. Pictures are one of your best links to the past.

In 2007, my New Year’s resolution was to keep my camera with me at all times and take at least 1 picture each day. The picture didn’t have to be of anything in particular. For example, I would take a picture of a tree, a cup, a sign, etc.

Although I only followed through for a few months, one thing I’ve learned is that all of these pictures tell stories that I probably would never have remembered otherwise. I think it’s great to be able to look back and recall those memories. If you have your own camera, try using it more often. You’ll be glad you did so years from now.
