Porch Swing Tip of the Week: Doubt Busters: #3 – Maybe I won’t remember all the details accurately
Hmmm.. that can be worrisome. Here are several suggestions to help unravel that riddle:
- Keep a paper and pen handy to write down notes when something you wanted to remember comes to your mind.
- Look at old pictures and mementos to jog your memory.
- Ask someone. Your siblings and friends or children might recall specifics.
- Your StorySite on PorchSwingStories.com has a feature called In Others’ Words, where you can send an email requesting someone else’s input on an event that happened in your life. Your loved one can give a personal perspective that may remind you; you can even add their slant to tell the story in a broader, possibly more entertaining way.
- “Just one more thing ..” Take off your coat. I mean, it worked for Detective Columbo: “I gotta take off this coat. I can’t think in this coat … THE COAT, I can’t think in the coat.”
Keep in mind that your stories do not have to be perfectly detailed, and that is okay too.
