TIME LINE

It is an interesting exercise to document your life in years. It was difficult, to say the least! I started with High School graduation and worked up until now. At first, there were gaps of time that I couldn't totally recall what I was doing. where I lived. what I did for my birthday that year. I respond best to visuals, so I started to gather photos. I inked a graph and started filling in significant land marks in my time line. pets, jobs, hair-color, relationships etc.

It started to come together and then I would remember something totally forgotten about and I would have to start over. and then over again. and go back again.

The most important thing about doing this is I realized how colorful and interesting my life has been. It is a good time line and I am the only person who needs to feel that way about it. Many parts of it weren't easy, weren't even pleasant, but those times were the hardest to recall. Once I did remember the bits and pieces, it made it so great to ink in all the amazing things. the unique things. the once in a life-time things. the good and the uneasy things.

It is the eve of the eve of my 34th Birthday. I was born on a Friday. 34 years ago = 12,417 days = 297,840 hours = 17,870,400 minutes = 1,072,831,234 seconds.

my time line so far ....
