西奧朵羅斯福 (Theodore Roosevelt) 於188023日在他的日記裡這樣寫著

在妻子死後,羅斯福以寫作、打獵、釣魚,以及投入在達科達領土牧場的工作來自我聊慰。

兩年之後,他和童年玩伴愛迪思
可米特卡洛 (Edith Kermit Carow) 結為夫妻。羅斯福家庭有一個相當親密且快樂的家庭生活,而小愛麗斯也成為四個小男孩與一個小女孩的大姊姊。當羅斯福成為美國總統之後,白宮就成為這六個小孩,以及一堆寵物,包括七隻狗、一匹小馬,以及一支飛鼠的遊樂場。

羅斯福還是繼續記錄著他的生活,不但繼續寫日記,同時還用寫信的方式來記錄生活。你要不要開始記錄自己的歷史呢?


After his wife's death, Roosevelt consoled himself by writing, hunting, fishing, and working on his ranch in the Dakota Territory.

Two years later, he married his childhood friend, Edith Kermit Carow. The Roosevelts had a close and happy family life and little Alice soon became the eldest sister of four boys and a girl. When Roosevelt became president of the United States, the White House became a playground for his six children and a collection of pets, including several dogs, a pony, and a flying squirrel.

Roosevelt continued to record his life, not only in his diaries, but also in his letters. Have you started to record your own personal history?
