Do you find that life seems to just rumble by in a rush of everyday events, making it difficult to recall or identify personal significant milestones? Drawing up your own personal timeline is an invaluable resource for remembering, recording and creating a solid framework on which to set out the special events, lifetime milestones and influential people in your life.
While the internet and local libraries can provide details of world or local events to use as background for your life story, the details of your personal life are what will make your life story come alive and resonate with your family, now and in future generations.
Can you name the people in your life who have most influenced you?
Do you remember how certain family crises impacted on your life?
Have you identified both the major and minor milestones in your life?
Which early decisions were either right or wrong for you?
Did you choose to travel the main highway or did you veer down the road less travelled?
By drawing up your own timeline, these and many other personal details of your life will become evident, adding depth, intensity and colour to the rich tapestry of your life story.
