One Life, Six Words

I am stealing this idea from my friend's blog. There's a book called Not Quite What I was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure . It's described:

When Hemingway famously wrote, "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn," he proved that an entire story can be told using a half dozen words. When the online storytelling magazine SMITH asked readers to submit six-word memoirs, they proved a whole, real life can be told this way too. The results are fascinating, hilarious, shocking, and moving.

The review from Pubisher's Weekly includes a few samples:

• "I was a Michael Jackson impersonator." - Keith Knight
• "Most successful accomplishments based on spite." - Scott Birch
• "Cursed with cancer. Blessed by friends." - Hannah Davies, 9 years old

Others I found online:

• " Married with three kids, no regrets"
• "This can't be all there is ..."
• " Grandchildren make children worth the trouble."
• " Blind faith? Yep, still got some."

I think mine would be, "It'll be fine in the end." Based on one of my favorite quotes, "It will all be fine in the end. If it's not fine, it's not the end."

Shane says his would be, "Never stop learning, never stop loving."

Kind of a fun little challenge to think about!
