Gerry and I were students at a 10 week class where we were given direction in writing our autobiography. It concluded in November. Gerry got into this project much more than I did. Our assignment was to write on a topic and share two pages with the group. Some weeks he would write up to 10 pages. He carries his note pad with him and if someone makes a comment that reminds him of something in his life, he makes a note of it and then is up at the computer for hours writing. He has had long conversations with his siblings to learn what they remember. A second session of the class has started and he is attending again. I decided not to take the second session. He says he doesn't know if it will end up a published book or not.
I am trying to do less this year. So decided to not take take the second class and I have dropped out of one of the clubs I was involved in. But don't worry, my calendar is still full. I am trying to exercise three or four time a week.
I'm in agreement about doing less, not more and being more aware and appreciative of what I do.
ReplyDeleteSo when you were taking the writing class and working on your autobiography did you discover anything new about yourself?
ReplyDeleteI imagine taking it easy for you would still exhaust most people. :)
ReplyDeleteDoing more less well - not a recipe for success.
ReplyDeleteWell done Bernice
