===Tales from a Life===

Where do you start with a life (hi)story?  Its all very well saying "start at the beginning" but that raises at least one rather problemsome issue - one doesn't remember the beginning that well!!  Our memories are, indeed very patchy, so I can only think that the way forward has to be to replicate that - pick whatever "comes to mind" and use each thing as a stepping stone to completeness - although it is inevitable that completeness will forever be unattainable.

So - perhaps I should begin by listing some "notable achievements" or "life highlights" and then begin to build round those.  Will be interesting to see how these things get triggered - and what comes back to mind that has been 'lost' for some time.  As this is going to be sort of like a diary - albeit a patchy one - it should be possible to do "what happened next" along various different strands.  The categories will allow different ways of carving things up - not just chronologically.  The different "lives" that I lead - and have been mentioned elsewhere - can be developed - music - church - family - work - sport - and others - they do, of course, overlap and that is why the categorisation combined with the chronology will start to show patterns (I expect).

If you are starting from this page and don't know what to look for can I suggest that you have a look at the [[Special:Categories|Categories]] page and choose a starting subject/era.
