I was reading something today that said the average person only remembers 8-10 events a year. I would say this is pretty accurate for me although it is eye opening. As we go through life every event seems so powerful and meaningful but years later it's forgotten. This a huge reason why I do this blog. I now realize it is just as much for me as it is you, but I want to store some extra childhood memories for you. I know that of 50 posts I may hit one that is significant to you and I am going to miss the vast majority. Memories are strange, I remember some seemingly unmemorable events while I forgotten some significant events. I hope to catch some important ones and remind you of memories that would have been forgotten.
The article said that one way to help remember is to talk through each day. We have always done this as a family during dinner. We discuss each others day and name one good thing and one thing that could have been better. I hope this helps to reinforce memories, good and bad.
