This is a most unusual book. Over the years I've heard many people say they would like to write a book, to put their story in print. It seems to be a part of the American dream to share one's knowledge, to teach and inform, perhaps to motivate and even inspire. I can't say that I've written this book, because I haven't. That is not my intention. This book will be written by those with a dream. It's reserved for those who want to tell their personal stories. It's for those who want to pass something on to their children and grandchildren. For those spirited people who want to record their successes and struggles, their times of happiness and doubt. This Is My Story can be anything the owner desires. It can be a biographical account of one's life from beginning to end. It can be humorous or tragic, lighthearted or serious, entertaining or somber, depending on the author's intent. It can be a reporting of one's life's goals, or as simple as a daily journal or diary. In other words, this unfinished book can be whatever you want it to be. Open your mind and sharpen your pencils. Define yourself through these blank pages and do something special with this simple opportunity to express yourself. Good luck to you. May you both teach something and learn something in the process.
