Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash I haven’t blogged in a while. For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ? Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience, even when inauthentic to me. It means more to me that others feel the value and quality of what I share rather than the quantity. I am not sure how often I will post, all I know is when the inspiration and curiosity strike, that’s when it will occur. My intention for this blog is to lead with more spontaneity than usual, structured content, along with transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability to whatever degree feels right. My inte...
It's Saturday Night -
time for more Genealogy Fun!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to:
1) Have you written your memoirs yet? If so, please share with us one story from your childhood. If not, then start your memoirs! The story could be a memory of your family life, your schoolwork, your neighborhood, etc. It doesn't have to be a certain length - just something you recall.
2) Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook. Be sure to leave a link to your work as a comment to this post.
Annual Turkey Trot
Every year, in elementary school, there was a Turkey Trot. It happened a few days-generally on a Wednesday, which is a half-day for us. Every grade level ( K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) goes outside during a specific time. When it was our time to go, we would leave the classroom and go to the basketball area. Each class would line up in a single file line.
To warm-up, we did exercises like jumping jacks, lunges, and stretches. After that, we did the chicken dance. Our school principal or assistant principal had a chicken costume on and danced along with us. It was always fun to do this yearly. Each class would get called out one by one to start running. I am not very fond of running- never was and probably never will. This likely contributed to the competition of students wanting to always win.
But during that time, it wasn't a big deal as we were just having fun. Parents could also attend. My mom came a few times, which was always nice.
Thanks for reading,
