52 Weeks of Sharing
Memories
A Challenge seen on:
Introduction:
A couple months ago, I started my version of the ever-so-popular
52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks and I am having so much fun with it that I've been
browsing other blogs for such fun ideas. This morning, I came upon The Olive
Tree Genealogy’s Sharing Memories and love the concept!
I never really thought my stories and/or memories were
important, but then I think- what if at least one of my ancestors had written a
journal and it had survived all of these years and I was able to read it? As a
genealogy and history fanatic, I would LOVE such a possession to be mine to
read! It would be one of my most treasured items- to be able to read what they
did on a day-to-day basis, what they went through, what heartaches and
wonderful memories they had and shared with their family and friends!
We hear rumors of what our ancestors were like. I was told that
my great grandfather was a very hard-headed individual who never smiled. What
would his journal say about him?
I’ve always kept a journal- up until about a couple of years
ago. I haven’t written in a long time but this project seems like a LOT of fun-
especially if I could, one day, share it with my children, grandchildren, great
grandchildren.
If you’re reading this and you love journaling, I encourage you
to do the same in your blog or even in a book at home! J
