AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Everyone ought to write their autobiography.

I have a story.  I am a story. I am details.

I am connected to persons and places.

I am family: a mom and dad and home.

I am with others in my day to day moments.

So just take the time to jot down the details.

Capture the history.  Capture the mystery.

Capture the moments with ink and paper.

Begin by reading other person’s autobiography.

Begin by talking to each other – who’s who.

Begin by filling page after page with your stories.

Find the letters.  Save the letters. Read the letters.

It won't all be perfect. There will be broken moments.

There will also be love and generosity and the good.
