SIX WORD MEMOIR


I have been tagged by Susie Q of Rabbit Run Cottage and Nan of On My Porch to participate in the six word memoir meme. Here are the meme rules: 1. Write your own six word memoir 2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like 3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible, so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere

4. Tag five more blogs with links 5. Remember to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!


The definition of "memoir" per Dictionary.com is :
a.an account of one's personal life and experiences; autobiography.

Hmmm...how do I fit 57 years of living and loving into six words?? I struggled with just posting my personal words to live by which I define as: Eat, Drink, Laugh and Be Kind, but that does not really tell the whole story. So here is my six word memoir which I will perhaps elucidate upon in another post . Joy, Hurt, Growth, Enlightenment, Love and Wisdom. Mysterious, huh?? Bet you never thought I was this deep :)

I am not going to tag anyone at this time because it just requires too much thought and I just ate pasta...too many carbs, but I will leave the option open.

Later,
Janet
