I tend to fall back on my apathy more often than I would like and I too easily sit within my comfort zone. I usually don't regret it when I make an effort and very much agree with that quote that says it's better to have tried something and stuffed up than regret not doing it.

I have made many photo books with words for special occasions for my parents and my grandchildren from the time I know they were coming into our lives. I have stopped a lot of this in recent years and since blogging I notice that I am enjoying writing there more and making memories for me. My dad's 90th (early 2014) was the last time I did a BIG memories event with a 20+minute power point and me presenting it. He thought it was wonderful and I have him the print out of the slides as a memory. He is coming up to 94 next year...and please don't think I am crass, but I also have photos of him 'ready for whenever he may be leaving us forever'.(I think he is immortal LOL) A daughter needs to be prepared! A great topic.
