NATIONAL “WRITE YOUR STORY” DAY
You may think to yourself, "There's nothing in my life to tell." It will surprise you once you put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard and the words start filling the pages. Words have a way of triggering memories. They form a moment in time, and before you know it, there's a story flowing from your fingertips. Even if you never share your tale, it can be an essence of who you are and where you've been.
Trips down memory lane or recreating the moment when a spark of inspiration occurred, are more intriguing than you know. Today, they fill blogs, inspire novels and entire television series. More importantly, they are treasures to family and loved ones. The observance encourages us to start telling our personal stories today. There's a story worth recounting in there somewhere!
Another advantage to writing down your life story, is that it can be a big help when pre-planning your final arrangements. Your own personal story, written in your own words, could be a beautiful element of your own Celebration of Life.
