Have you ever just sat down and tried to determine the titles for the chapters in your life thus far? Interesting concept, but revealing as well. I started to, just in case I wanted to create a book depicting my life, and all that it contains... Here is my rough outline:
title page: Me
chapter 1: How I was prayed for
(7 years in the making, being born, becoming the second only child)
chapter 2: Random acts of a child of the 70s
(toddler years thru pre-school)
chapter 3: If I were a time capsule, what would I save?
(kindergarten thru 3rd grade)
chapter 4: The year I was an armadillo
(4th grade)
chapter 5: The big move
(summer before 5th grade, new house, new land, new life)
chapter 6: Drinking at church
(introduction to Catholicism by my friends, bazaars and keeping my faith)
chapter 7: The love of sports in a small town
(jr/sr high sports in Anderson, what there wasn't do to, girls playing baseball)
chapter 8: Making my parents proud
(getting a scholarship, preparing for college)
chapter 9: And then I was a Wildcat
(ACU, volleyball and basketball)
chapter 10: road to Oregon, then back
(leaving right after college and working at a juco)
chapter 11: eating alcohol in Europe
(studying abroad in graduate school)
chapter 12: the first of many
(things I wish I could change, but am happy for the experiences)
chapter 13: working with public schools
(ball high in galveston)
chapter 14: liberal media
(my experiences with the Daily News and the Houston Chronicle)
chapter 15: Winter Olympics 2002
(my road trip with my cousin, Lori, and the fun we had there)
chapter 16: bad diagnosis
(Dad learning of lung cancer and his journey)
chapter 17: Fall 2003
(Normal people would have given up and fell apart)
chapter 18: my own business
(starting new, branching out and doing what I love)
chapter 19: complacency
(realizing that my marriage was in trouble)
chapter 20: 24 hour
(working out, getting back into shape, feeling better about myself)
..............
that's all I have so far... but I'm sure I'll add to the index.
If you had to write a book... what would some of your chapters be titled? Just something else to think about. ;)
I am thinking that writing an entire book may take too long, since I love to write... it might just drag on and on... so I was thinking of doing a pictoral with few paragraphs here and there, kind of like a yearbook, but of my life.
who knows?!?
