Unfortunate are the adventures which are never narrated.

– Penelope Fitzgerald

I haven’t read any of her novels yet, but Hermione Lee’s Penelope Fitzgerald biography is a gem. It’s about carrying on, even during life’s foibles and kicks to the shins.

Especially encouraging if you’re trying to cobble some unorthodox life together.

So how to narrate your adventures then? Keep a journal. Snap a photo each day. Blog. Record a lyric into your phone. Something.

Keep going.
