For years I have written and wanted to write more. Just write my thoughts so as not to lose them in the ether.

I sometimes write in a journal.. I used to journal almost religiously. It helps when you are trying to navigate all of the thoughts swirling around in your mind.

Then a boyfriend sat down one day and read all of my journals while I was at work. He wrote notes in them and confronted me when I returned home from work. I stopped writing for several years.

I finally resumed with my diaries about 20 years later and also hand wrote volumes in notebooks for a potential book one day.

I had a home fire and most of it burned. I am so thankful for computers and for the few files I had transferred to type. To the “Cloud” !

These are the thoughts are ones that I want to share. There can be value in having a glimpse into the minds of others…

Many of my photos inspire or ‘dislodge’ these thoughts or are reminders of things or situations that I want to share.

If anyone ever reads this, I would ask and encourage you to reach out to me with any of your own thoughts or questions!

Life is amazing, isn’t it?
