INTRO
This memoir is designed to put a smile on your face; or perhaps challenge you a bit; maybe to bring you back to truly living life–“life more abundantly”[1] not just trying to be successful in life…or simply just get by; but to bring to remembrance the little things that are important, that maybe you have forgotten. Those things in life that we don’t realize until later that they were stepping stones in our journey–in our identity–in who we are today.
In this collection of short stories, I want to share memories from my life that I hope will spark good memories in yours. If for some reason you don’t hold those good memories in your life, I hope that this autobiography of sorts will spur you on to creating memories from here on out that will impact those that follow close behind you.
I think this will remind (or help you realize) that sometimes the simple things in life don’t hold a price; for their value is priceless.
I love the sound of laughter, especially when it’s my family and the fun and joy that is behind it! In thinking back to precious memories, they weren’t always precious when they happened…for not all memories were laughing matters in the moment, but they sure made for a good story to tell later!
Please…come reminisce with me…and let’s focus on the Sunnyside of Life!
