This is a quote from website for the Center for Digital Storytelling
“Every community has a memory of itself.
Not a history, nor an archive, nor an authoritative record…
A living memory, an awareness of a collective identity woven of a thousand stories.”

I was thinking about this and it reminded me of how my grandmother used to take pictures of every family get together when I was young. It was her way of keeping up with the story of her life. It has been a long time since I have seen any of those pictures, but I know when I look at them they will bring back some memories.

What are you doing to record the activities of today that will be the memories tomorrow? Do we listen to others who are telling us the stories from yesterday, I know I struggle with this. I am usually focused on the future, but if history repeats itself shouldn’t these stories be important to me.
