Mom and my Aunt Ruth always said it was best to avoid the teacher’s lounge at work.
Whether you agree with that little tidbit of advice, when it popped into my head this morning I was reminded of the importance of writing down those bits of wisdom you remember from relatives.
Even if you can’t get together physically with your relatives over the holiday season, maybe you can ask them what tidbits of wisdom they remember from other relatives. Some may be common clichés, others may indicative of the time in which your relative lived, a few may be bits of wisdom for the ages, but they are all a bit of your family history.
And they may help you to remember just a little bit those family members who have passed–like I do with Mom and Aunt Ruth.
