An examined life

Okay, I will begin examining my life. I've been reading a biography of Benjamin Franklin and I see where, yes he was an exceptional human being, however a main difference between he and I is that he read and WROTE. I just read and then barely have time for that. But I want my children and grandchildren to know who I was and to leave some sort of mark on this world. I've accepted that fact that I will never cure cancer or do any one great thing on this earth. (I'm just passing through.) Perhaps if I write down my memories, then that will be the way I will be remembered...
I can try anyway, it might not turn as I think. Projects I begin seem to take on a life of their own, some better, some worse but always fun.
