 From The Beginning...

Where to start?  How 'bout the beginning.  Hmmm.  The beginning of what?  I know.  It shouldn't be so difficult.  However, I've lived a long and complex Life.  (Almost 76 years.)  When I think of my past, I break it into segments.  Periods of time that I can define by events in my Life.

So, I may write a bit about something that happened in my early childhood, or I may write about my teens, twenties, or whatever comes to mind.  I have much to pass along to family.  I'll define a segment by the era.  By the approximate years in which the events took place.  

This isn't much for now but it's the best I can do at the moment.  I'm just getting over Influenza A.  Not a fun time.  However, now that I'm "on the mend" it doesn't seem so bad.  It's all relative.  I've been through worse in the past.  Life is like that.  It has its ups and downs.  Its highs and lows.  How would we know how good we have it if we never experienced a bad spell?  

I guess that's how I know I have it good now.  Life is Good.  I've been through a number of rough times.  Some not so bad.  Some waaaay bad.  However, I'm a survivor.  I'll get into the details soon.  My goal at this point is to write a bit every day or two or three.  I know. A lofty goal but I gotta start somewhere. 

I'll be adding photos soon.  Some old and some new.  A frozen moment in Time.  Oddly, many of my memories, back to the age of about 2, are like "flash bulb glimpses" into my past.  I have very vivid memories.  Now, I need to figure out how to put them in writing.  Yeah, right.  I grew up thinking I was more scientist than writer.  My problem is having more ideas than I can clearly write for others to understand.  I'm a tangential thinker so I tend to meander.  Stick around long enough and you may pick up a thread you can understand or relate to.  If anyone other than my family reads this, my hope is to let others know they aren't alone in what they're going through or what they've been through.  Yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  Yeah, sometimes it may be a fast moving train headed your way.  But, then again, it may just be a Shining Light!  A Guiding Light to illuminate your way forward.

Until next time.
