Last Day of the Month of February

Well, February ends today and I hope you reached payout. I did not. I’ve just been too busy this month with other things. And March will be even busier, I think.
I’m going to try to get into a different pattern of writing on myLot. I’ve already started SOME new things. For instance, I have saved all my posts in my “documents” on my computer, but I didn’t always put the date that I wrote them. So now, when I save the article, I’m including in the “save as” the date.
I realize that the date is noted when I SAVE the document, but if I make any adjustment or correction to the document, the computer changes the date when I save the changes. This may not be important to some of you, but I’m using myLot to write my “memoirs” for my grandchildren and it’s important to me to keep the original date.
I’m actually almost ready to start publishing my “memoirs” once I write a few more stories. I’ve already published my first book, a novel. This new book will include all of the more interesting stories I’ve written for myLot and Bubblews and some of my poetry. That’s why I will be very busy in March. I hope to have it done by the end of March.
I’m also going to sign up at Ancestry.com and fill in some information about my ancestry. I have quite a bit of that done already, along with photos, covering EIGHT generations, but I have a few “blanks” that need to be filled in.
My time on myLot will be somewhat limited, but I should be able to work in some time here. I will be writing about some childhood memories and stories about my traveling over the years. The posts may not draw much attention but that’s OK. I’m not here for the earnings.
I think everyone should write their “memoirs,” and if a person doesn’t want others to read about them, don’t post them. I’m not posting everything I write about my life, but I will post some of it.
I hope you have a wonderful week. It’s supposed to be in the 80s F here tomorrow. Amazing weather! I do hope we are headed into Spring with no last minute surprises, like a snow storm in March. Spring weather is very unpredictable though, so we will just have to wait and see.

That sounds great. Writing memoirs is a good idea

Writing memoirs passes down to the next generation, things that they should know. American Indians did it verbally to their children and grandchildren. I think that it makes children wiser and more aware of what is going on in the world.

@amitkokiladitya And I would love to read one of yours.
I have lived a very full life. I have raised my children, had a career that allowed me to be home with my children most of the time because I could set my own hours. I have traveled quite a bit but not as much as some people. I have taken time to educate myself far beyond what many people know and I have helped a lot of people and fulfilled my dream of being a published novelist. I have also been able to sing on stage many times and even on TV. If you would like to hear me sing, here's the link.
It's not perfect but not too bad for a night at karaoke.

Yes, Julius Caesar would have something to say about the Ides of March.

I love your ideas about writing down all of those stories that can be passed down!

I think that a person should keep a journal. It's something I have done for a long time and I've saved them all. A person who keeps a journal doesn't have to write something every day, but should write important events and special activities in their journal.

i like the photo you put here, i guess it's an apple tree? i have not seen an apple tree before. this will be my first time of seeing apple growing on the tree. we have apple here but it is always imported. we don't grow it here, i learnt it won't survive.
yes, the discussion put here on mylot, when it is real- it's like keeping once journal, i think i can do that too.
