Hello, World!

First Day, Sunday, seems like a good day to begin a personal log.

About First Day
Early Friends made a big deal out of removing names of Mythology figures (Greek, Roman, and Norse Gods) and such from their speech. Thus the days of the week are referred to as "First Day" through "Seventh Day" instead of Sunday through Saturday, and "First Month" through "Twelfth Month" instead of January through December. This notation is common in writings like The Journal of John Woolman and other classic Friend writings.
