Brevity: The Six Word Memoir
The challenge: write a six word memoir. Six words? How can I cram my life into just six words? How the heck do I do that? I do love a challenge, though. (Hey, that's six words.) Here it is, my six word memoir, summing up everything I know about life and my attempts to have a healthy, successful existance despite all challenges. Can I do it?:
I don't know, but I'll try.
Here's the rules to this crafy little meme:
- Write your own six word memoir;
- Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like;
- Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere;
- Tag at least five more blogs with links; and
- Don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!

Yup. That about sums it up.
Thanks for playing along. I love reading these "bumper sticker" slogans of our lives.

Well I don't blog, but the 6 words came to me immediately, because they perfectly summarize the two stages of my life-so-far.
Hated my job. Now I write.
And my diabetes life? Cheated a little (okay, a lot) by combining words (shrug), but this sums it up.

Very nice Kerri - I like that quite a bit.
Says so much in six little words.
