Blogging from A To Z April Challenge Theme Reveal - Hindsight

Life is very strange right now during the COVID-19 pandemic.  We are being encouraged to stay inside as much as possible, to distance ourselves from those outside of our household and to stay away from group gatherings.   Many things are closed so even if you want to go out, there are not many places to go.  Because of all of this, I have a lot of time on my hands and have decided to do the AtoZ blogging challenge.   And while I have a lot to say about this time of uncertainty and seeming chaos, this is my Theme Reveal Blog.

When I turned 60 last April I decided, like many people, to start writing the story of my life. This seems to be an age of reflection and the need to write this is quite compelling. I have been writing memories in no real order, just as they occur to me.   Once I have finished that (but do we ever really finish remembering?)  I will try to make some sense of these memories and create a piece of work for posterity.   I am not sure who will be interested in reading it, but it doesn't matter.  It's a process.   And, I hope, a way of healing and forgiving.

During the AtoZ challenge, using the title Hindsight, I will be blogging about a memory from each letter of the alphabet.  It was surprisingly easy to come up with a complete list.  I am looking forward to writing these and I hope anyone who stops by my blog will enjoy reading them

I am so happy to see someone else also write about Memories. My theme is somewhat similar- but instead of Memories , I will be writing about my connect with the cities I have lived in/ live in. Look forward to reading your Memories in Alphabetical order.
