As I Remember... The Inlaws - Those Wonderful Schaff Relatives (Paperback)

I believe my purpose in life is to share my life experiences and memories, so others may benefit from my experiences and memories. The mind is capable of storing information and memories. Each person has a unique method of storing information and remembering details. I often wonder, do our feelings, emotions, and attitude dictate and control our memories or do our memories dictate and control our feelings, emotions, and attitude? Research proves that emotions create 80% of our memories. On occasion, I have heard someone say, "That's a lie; that's not at all how I remember it." I feel people don't intentionally lie, they only tell it differently; as their individual emotions create "their" memory of each event. My writings are of my memories, as I remember them. Memories of people and events in my life and how they have influenced and affected my life. These are lessons learned through my feelings, emotions, and the memories that linger, of days and events gone by. Each day is a new opportunity for experiencing, learning, feeling, and remembering. I consider myself to be an active, happy, go-lucky person, with a great sense of humor. I am full of compassion and a very giving person. I grew up with nothing so enjoy sharing what I have with others. All I want in life is to make others happy, put a smile on their face, and advocate for those who can not speak for themselves, the very young and the elderly. Sometimes I am blunt and to the point. I have stood my ground for the sake of others and have often put my two cents in just for the cause; cause I think it needs to be said. I give thanks to my Grandmother, Pearl Williamson, who took me in, comforted me, and gave me love when I didn'tthink anyone loved me. She was an inspiration in my life; she taught me my values, morals, patience, forgiveness, understanding, and acceptance.
