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 - 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).
