Some Can Be Seen, Some Cannot

How many times do you sit with a friend or family member and say “do you remember when ---?” Remembering what has occurred in your life is an important thing to do. When you write or verbally recall the past, it preserve a foundation for the future. Memoirs are important to build a legacy, pass wisdom to others, and let others know you as a person.

As a writer, which you are, you have to find that memory that matters to you. Writing about your life helps to form the habit of writing more. You learn to write deeper when you remember the past in detailed ways. Writing a memoir gives you great flexibility. A memoir can be short. A phrase can comprise the memoir piece. Write the phrase and the thought can be over. You may not have anything else to say about that memory.

On the other hand, you might write a lengthy multiple page essay. A memory might come up that keeps you writing on and on. Words just keep flowing out of your mind, through your hand, and onto the paper or keyboard.

As with every memoir, some pieces of writing are so personal that you have to decide if they will go further than your personal journal. Writing is therapeutic. Some of what you write in an autobiography or memoir will never see the light of day. Will you want your favorite aunt to know that you hated her perfume that seemed to cling to you when she gave you a hug? Do you want to put in writing the actions you did when you were a teenager that until now, no one else knew about but you?

Take the responsibility of putting those memoirs in sections of your journal or computer file that are for you alone. When you do this, you can let the wings of your mind take off.

Adjustable dumbbells cost closer to six hundred dollars while
a sufficient set of traditional dumbbells can be purchased for less than
four hundred dollars. Place your hands resolutely on the ground next to you.
This is one of the major advantages that manufacturers target when marketing adjustable dumbbells to home
consumers.

year. Because the lid will be sitting snugly on the
pot during the slow cooking, liquid will be generated
as a by-product.

An electric toothbrush is motorized and usually battery-operated with a charger that sits on
the bathroom counter. Dentists recommend brushing your teeth for at least two minutes
each time you brush. The other thing I find annoying is the lack of a counter stand
to hold the electric toothbrush.

Additionally, it resulted in skin irritation at the site that cleared after
two days of treatment with over-the-counter
antibiotic ointment. I have sideburns and I even them out quite nicely with the regular razor that I use

Wide grip pushups will work your chest, back muscles,
and rear shoulders. If you have any pain doing this it would be best to stop and
trying doing the high pull exercise instead.
To do this, start by sitting in an upright position and
then holding two dumbbells in both hands, making
sure that the palms are facing each other and your arms should be hanging at
your sides.
