Hi Everyone! I have some serious catching up to do. The week before last we were caring for our family members that were evacuated due to the Northern California fires. They live in Napa and through something very miraculous they still have their home and beautiful neighborhood intact. It was a very busy week of watching and keeping track of what was happening minute by minute. It was family history in real time...for us and many others.
We are touched and changed by the tumultuous times and good news for our loved ones, but feel so badly about all the people that were affected in a less fortunate way. It makes one take a step back and remember what is truly most important.
We are taking stock of all we need to do to be better prepared for these types of natural disasters in advance. One of those many things includes how we will preserve our family history and heritage in a better, more mindful and consistent way. Scan, scan, scan and store online in more than one place for starters!
I'll try to go back and transfer all of the posts that were done during that time and also last week while we were in Utah on The Family History Guide business and family times, which consisted of spending time with our son and daughter and their families that live there.
That was a wonderful week and so profoundly different then just the week before. When things like these two contrasting weeks occur, it reminds me of how resilient the human soul is. We all have no choice but to take life, one day at a time, as it comes. This reminds me that it is so important to leave a legacy of some things that have happened and how we perceived them and deal with this crazy life sometime. And what we learn in the process. Writing it down helps us and others. Journal...as best you can about who you are, what you have experienced and what you have gained through your joys and adversities in your life. These are point to ponder for all of us.
