My Life Story
I wish I could work up the gumption to write my life story - not because I think it would be interesting reading, but because I feel I have been so fortunate as to have had a very, very happy life and so few people seem to have happy lives. Not that I didn't have plenty of less than happy moments - loss of a loved one, moments of extreme stress at work, other bad times, doing yard work - but when I view my life as a whole, I realize how tremendously lucky I have been. That's part of the reason I started this particular journal - just to document my thoughts about my life. I've had fantastic grandparents, parents, kids, grandkids, and other relatives plus a lot of nice friends. I've enjoyed myself most of the time. I thank God often for my fortunes. No matter how bad things seemed from time to time, I always had a strong feeling that God was taking care of me. I hope that's not egotistical, but that's how I have felt since I was in my late teens.
I figure that if I eventually document enough of my story in this journal, I can rearrange it into my life story.
