Jogging your memory, 27

(Note.. see the very beginning of this blog for important steps on how to get started writing your life story)


~ Recall a memorable family gathering as an adult. Was it your family or your in-laws? What time of year was it? Where did you gather? What was the occasion? Was it joyful and loving; argumentative and explosive? Was it typical of such gatherings? Why was it that way? Who seemed (or seems) to most affect the personality of the gathering? What specifically happened, and how did it affect you? What part did you play in the events?

~ What was one of the biggest trials or challenges in your life? How did it come about? How did you respond to it? How long did the situation last? How did you finally overcome it or come to terms with it?

~ What would you identify as your best character traits? Did you come by them easily or have you had to work over many years to develop them? How did you go about developing them?. Are there any character traits you wish you had that you don't, or that are not as strong as you would wish?
