Over the years my memories have decided to show up for my review and let me tell you some of those memories were wild, crazy and could never have happened or could they?
When possible I try and jot down the details of a memory as soon as it comes to my mind and hope I can expound on the memory flash so I and others can hopefully enjoy a trip down memory lane. I do not write about really bad memories, and even change the names and locations of a memory at times in order to protect those who may have been in those memories and reading about those times now.
Jotting down memories these days are easy since the internet showed up. As mentioned I have been writing about my memories for some time now and can go back and look at those memories and compare them with similar memories checking out the dates, locations, events,and people mentioned.
Being able to cross check previously written memory moments with newly acquired documents lets me update memories and even expand memories recorded. There are still memories with gaps in them and those that do not match up, but for the most part, the memories I write about are as close to the real memory as anyone will ever know.
I write about the life and times of me as those memories present them selves so my family will know what sort of life I have lived or at least as best I can remember those moments - Smiles and Frowns.
My written memories are posted in hopes others who were present in those moments will remember even more about those times and comment on the memory without dredging up the ugly parts of life and keeping the memory more about the good times.
More fun, smiles, and exciting memories may follow when and if those memories surface.
