0:16.0	So basically, here's how my five-year journal works.
0:19.1	On every single page, it says, like, you know, December 1st, and then it has the first year, the second year, the third year, the fourth year, the fourth year, the fifth year. Oh. Yes. I'm interested. You've got this journaling thing from like, oh, great. The most boring topic ever journaling to, oh, wait, that's pretty cool. I kind of want one. I started doing this in November, like the week of Thanksgiving, actually. And so your boys getting to last year's entries. Wait, like a week ago, you mean? I started doing it a year ago last week.
