Seniors have acquired all sorts of memories worth capturing for grandchildren and future generations. The trick is finding ways to capture those memories that’s easy and fun to do.

The most obvious is writing. Many people freeze up when faced with a blank piece of paper or computer screen. When involved in a project like this, it may help to realize what you are writing is for family and friends only. The writing can be done in a notebook, with room for pictures and sketches, or on the computer or any other way that pleases you.

Another good way for seniors to capture memories is by taping them. With this system you simply talk into a tape recorder, label the tapes in some logical way and you’re done.

Of course, you don’t have to tackle a project like this by yourself. Sometimes it helps to have a friend or a family member take notes while you talk.

If you want a more professional approach, you can even hire a ghost writer.

However you do it, getting your memories or creating a memoir is worthwhile.
