I've probably another 1,500 pages to transcribe (my handwriting is atrocious) and I'm toying with a couple dozen possible organizing strategies (10 forms of love in the Greeks, the Buddhist Eightfold Path, Cynics Guide to Happiness, farming, photography, etc.) Right now I'm in round two with stage 4 cancer, my head & neck cancer metastasized into one of my lungs. I've completed radiation and now we wait. So I also have a Cancer Survivors Guide To Happiness outline. Keep up the good. work.

Nicely done. Um looking forward to the other parts of this thread. This feels and sounds remarkably familiar to me. I've been transcribing my journals and letters for the last year and am up around 1,500 pages. So I'm acutely aware of my own moments of searching, feeling and dreaming of my own identity over the decades. Great work.

Thanks for reading and commenting! And I admire your journal and letter transcription project. I can imagine it's pretty wild to reread yourself at different distances, such a cool thing to do.
