Lorna Byrne Vikings honored for grades
Life journal
great gift for
loved ones
Imagine if your great-
great-grandfather or grand-
mother had left you a book
with their secrets for living.
Maybe it contained nug-
gets of wisdom, yummy reci-
pes, favorite jokes, or just
insights for how to lead a
good life. Ever since people
learned of Joe Vitale’s book,
Life’s Missing Instruction
Manual, people are curious
how to create their own
“manual” for life.
You can leave such a
book for your own family.
What are the key lessons
you’ve learned in your life?
Are you ready to share them
with your children and grand-
children -- or with your
friend, siblings, parents, and
grandparents?
What you’ve gleaned
from your life experiences
can make things easier for
your children or your rela-
tives. In fact, the lessons
you’ve earned from trial-and-
error can be the perfect gift
for everyone in your life -- or
for one person who matters to
you. Here’s how to commit
your insights to writing and
share them with your fellow
life travelers.
Carry a notepad with you
everywhere for a week.
Jot down your thoughts
and observations as they oc-
cur to you. Don’t judge them.
Just note them.
Add personal stories and
memories as they come to
mind. Again, don’t edit your
thoughts. Just commit them to
paper.
Take a few days to re-
view your notes, and under-
line the most important pas-
sages, and make additional
comments in the margins.
From this, distill the les-
sons you most want to share
with others: your perspective,
your values, what matters
most to you, and your reac-
tions to the world around you.
Find a beautiful journal
or blank book, one that you
feel a strong connection with.
You might find it at a book-
store, an antique store, an
online auction site, a craft
store, or even a flea market.
Where you find it doesn’t
matter. How you feel about it
does.
Fill the journal with your
own instruction manual for
life. Make sure to include a
title and your name.
Find a special person to
share it with, and turn the
presentation of the journal
into a celebration.
If you don’t feel comfort-
able writing your notes and
stories, you can dictate them
into a portable tape recorder,
and later, you can transcribe
them into a journal.

Caves centennial planning

Two community input sessions to start the process of involv-
ing area residents, businesses and groups in the Centennial Cele-
bration at Oregon Caves National Monument will be held.

The celebration will occur during 2009, primarily during
summer. The two public input sessions will offer direct discus-
sions with monument staff and other community members. Each
will provide an opportunity to brainstorm ideas and activities to
promote the celebration and help communities benefit from the
anniversary of the monument.
Of note, 2009 also will mark Oregon’s 150th
(sesquicentennial) anniversary, and the 75th of The Chateau at
Oregon Caves. Ideas that connect these celebrations also will be
encouraged, Klozik said.
