I envision
this book sitting in a convenient location, grabbed, like
a Sudoku puzzle, when people have a few unstructured minutes
to spare. At other times, you may prefer to use the questions
as talk triggers, sharing around the dinner table or living
room conversation circle.
It takes 30-60
seconds to write in the answer to each question. Thus
you can do it all in one sitting or answer a question
a day to keep the boredom away. It's really that easy!
As you model
pro-active journaling, others will follow suit. The fun
comes as more and more family members and guests add their
own entries, increasing both the entertainment and historical
value of the shared memoir.
In the end,
this journal will chronicle the thoughts of a dozen or
more individuals.... As you fill in the blanks yourself,
or read the comments of others, I hope you can envision
family members, in future generations, happening upon
this little book. I mean, wouldn't you find it interesting
to read the personal thoughts of a dozen of your ancestors...
on memory at a time? |
