Strange observation, I'm jotting down memories, perhaps a book someday?

[Mr. Ed]

After TMS treatment, I'm able to recall life events clearer than before, however, last weeks visit with my brothers there are many moments between us that I have no recollection of all. Sadly, this means most of my time on earth is void of any meaning what so ever.

I know that there are no guarantees in life but I feel victimized just the same. I'm writing a book about my past that will entertain and enlightened the soul.

I had a wonderful time visiting my brothers, believe or not I don't recall ever being happy with them until last week. My wife and I moved to NY in 1980, over the years I lost touch with my brother complicated by mental illness. I don't remember who I was but I know I'm not the same. It's a good thing where I am at today, I hope my memory comes back because I sure would like to have enough material to fill a book.

Good luck, hang in and don't give up!

Good luck! The more you write, the more you will tune into your memory bank. Photos also help trigger memory. I had an older writer in my writers' group who started his memoir in his late 80s and finished it two years later. He'd share chapters with us. He started from when he was a child and talked about his schooling, marriage, and career. It was fascinating.

A friend wrote her memoir in her 80s. After reading it, I thought everyone should write a memoir! I wouldn't have the patience though. I write snippets on forums instead. Or tell my language partner about some long-buried incident.

Good luck with it!
