It's late

 I am writing stories, stories about me life and finding allot of joy in the memories. I have had a good life. There have been terrible sorrows, things that have broken me and things that have torn me but things that have shaped me too. Made me who I am because of, it is not either/ or as my friend Peggy says but both/ and a 2 column life as my friend Chaz says. The memories are great. There are things I really have forgotten and at the time I thought who could forget this. I am so glad we have pictures. They are a real joy in memory helps. Today Anna, Peggy and I went to a paper store as Peggy and Anna are creating works of joy for their children. Scrapbooks of life. Not fancy pages but memories and pictures. I will do that too. It will take such time but I started with my sister on her 60th and we will continue. It may not be finished but it will be started.  These stories are a part of this gift to my children. I know later in life they will really be glad for them. I am already.
