We have all heard of six word memoirs. This clever way of adapting six simple words to describe our life has been a popular way to let people into the recesses of our life while saying very little. It reminds us that often saying little says so much.
So here is my six word memoir. I think our memoirs change over time, as we change and the circumstances of life change around us. This one seemed to fit for this season of my life. What is your six word memoir?
Life’s current detour is my path.

I think of this as my memoir,
Bruised, battered not broken; I walk.

Now *that* is an amazing 6 word memoir. It allows for inference, has a little mystery, applies to something bigger than the moment. I love this. Thanks for sharing it!

What a gorgeous photo! I love your six word memoir and agree that this changes over time. One of mine: Words pour in. Words pour out. Another: Nature speaks to me. I listen. Yours reminds me to celebrate life’s detours.
