Good Morning all, This is great advice and a big job. It was back about 1993 during my morning prayers I felt the message "write your life story because you're going to die!" Well, that was a strong enough message for me, and I got started on it that day. Truly believe HE guided me through the process of writing of my life. It was most enjoyable as I went back and felt how it was when I was 5, 12, 15, etc (emotions - fear, confusion, apprehension, joys). I now have three large binders full of memories, photos, etc to pass on to my four children (hey I haven't had the opportunity to tell it all to them, and basically at this point they are not interested as their lives are full) and my two granddaughters. This way they will, one day, know mom/grandma from me, not a third party. Have only gotten through 1989 at this point because I continue to add to what I have. Also through the years I've written journals. I drew on these while writing some of the above as I could recapture the emotions of that time. Afterwards I could appreciate how far I've come in life, and so count the blessings. Know I'm not the same person and that's a good feeling. Anyway I encourage everyone to start preserving their history.
