Today, I was a guest at the Clay County Historical Society. We met in the Clarke House on Kingsley Avenue and had lunch. The history in this house was astounding. It was as though the owner of the house was there. One of the facilitators, Carolyn, began to tell us about the house and the parties held there. She made such an impression on me with her description, I really wished I had known her.
That caused me to think...what will others say about me when I am not here? What do I want to be known for? I hope that somehow I am making a difference in those around me. I want to be a person of influence so that others will feel better about themselves when we meet.
I have so many memories that I cherish and I don't want to forget them. I want my stories to be passed down in generations to come - just like Mrs. Clarke. Thanks, Juanita, for the invitation. It truly made an impression.
