Wisdom Keepers

     I found a great story on the AARP site entitled, "The Pressure to Be Wise," and I have to say it was a great read.  Click on the link below and read for a great laugh and insight into the mind of an elder!

     This view from a wisdom keeper let me know that I am not alone in thinking that I still don't know much.  We do though and we need to share it.  Take the time to share your stories with others, especially the "younger" generations.  They are interested and if you share the emotions you felt while telling the stories, you create a bond and connection with them.

     Every generation needs to learn from those before, in order to keep the best and most important things alive.  We can create a lasting relationship by sharing memories with story.  Don't let the traditions that you value stop now.  Pass them down now and in the future by recording your legacy or publishing it for them.

     Your life and values could benefit generations from now.  Photos alone can't do that, so be a wisdom keeper and pass it down with story.  Photos without stories are memories lost.
