10.When Charles Lee handed me the small notebook,he changed my life.It was a one-week homestay before college began and I was staying with Charles in his cottage."You are young and doing a lot of exciting things,"Charles said."But I promise,you will forget them if you don't write them down."
I took his advice.I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay.Back in London,I recorded weekend trips,commented on my school and compared my life at a small college with my wandering through the streets of London.When I wrote in the notebook,I once struggled with a sense of my audience and purpose.Who would read this?Was there some purpose for this daily exercise?Later,I developed a sense of vision for the task.I was recording events and thoughts that were important to my life.I wondered where I would be,what my life would be like.I continued writing in notebooks for four decades.They filled two boxes in my garage.
Recently,I decided to open my notebook boxes and replay my life.As I opened the first box,I suddenly felt there was a risk in opening that first notebook.Would I like the former me recorded on those pages?I did it anyway.The pages showed highlights from college classes and stories about friends.I read anxious comments.I reflected on my coming wedding,and the proud moments when I held each of my daughters.And I recorded more trips.
These writings formed a continuous thread through my life,a connection between my past,present,and future.It took several long evenings to read through the notebooks,taking me on a 42-year retrospective (怀旧) tour.It was then I realized:I am now the person I was writing to throughout those years.
