Don't let the past slip out of your hands

"I have some great stories, I just can't remember any of them!"

My friend told me her mom used to say that half jokingly, yet sprinkled with the sadness of regret.

The truth is, each day we allow to pass us by without recording the stories of our past puts those memories at risk of disappearing into the fog that comes with age. So what holds people back? Pride mostly. Most of us are too proud to admit that we are aging or that our memories will fail us one day, so we put off the important task of sharing the stories that others will surely delight in.

What's holding you back?
