Fading Memories and Saving New Ones

It’s no secret that I am getting older. No, I’m not ancient, but I am realizing that I am getting more forgetful about certain things as the days go by. For instance, Crystal and I are driving in the car after church one afternoon and she says “Rylan this and Rylan that….do you remember when he did that?” and I was like “…no”. Well, actually in my head I said “no” but I told her “oh yeah!” like I remember it like it was yesterday. What the heck? I know every little instance or occasion with my kids has been amazing! So where is the malfunction that my eyes and ears can’t email big files to the grand hard drive that is my brain?

I have come to some sort of resolution that I need to combat this memory loss or this inability to retain this information by capturing it more often. I think that I am going to start shooting a bit more video of me and my family. I will then have files that I can then save onto my computer and rewatch them anytime. I know that I run the risk in my computer one day dying a horrible death and my memories would be gone forever. I did a ton of figuring out what the best thing to do in the long run would be and I knew that I would want to be able to send big files over to a portable hard drive for safe keeping. So, that’s what I am going to do. Capture a bit more of my daily life in video form, throw it onto a hard drive, store that somewhere safe, and then have them forever even to show my grand-kids one day. I’m on the ball now!  Did I say that already?   I can’t remember…
