A Written Legacy


Thanks to my brother-in-law for passing on the following information. 

 Ebey Funeral Solutions in Dallas created a brochure with interesting questions.  In it, the suggestion is given to spend  time each week answering one of the 50 questions listed.
It is not an overwhelming assignment.  Schedule 15 minutes one day a week for 50 weeks and at the end you will have a wonderful legacy to leave for your family.  
If you would like the list, I think I can scan it into a response to an email.


Some of the questions are:
Why did you parents give you your name?
What are your favorite family traditions?
Where did you go to school?  (Elementary, Middle, High School, College, etc)
How did you and your spouse/partner meet?
What are your special talents?

I’m sure you can come up with your own list of questions/topics and begin answering them in September which is frequently considered another time to reboot/reconnect/begin anew.

In the past when I have thought about writing about my life, I seem to focus on the hard times and then I get sad and give up.  Having topics, like writing chapters in a book, would help me break down my story into manageable parts.  I’m going to try this. 


Let me know what you decided to do.
