REFLECTIONS

It seems as I get older the more time I spend reflecting on the past.  I don’t like being old, however, I feel very blessed to have grown up during the 40’s and 50’s.  I could name many things we didn’t have when I was growing up that I have today and would hate to do without.  The laptop I am using to write this being one of them.  I also could name just as many things we had then tha t we don’t have today that I miss very much.

I thought there might be a few readers out there about my age that would enjoy sharing some of my reflections and some younger readers that would enjoy reading about how it was “back then”.  If any of the older readers have any thoughts they would like to share, please e-mail me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  .   I would w elcome your comments or reflections.  If any younger readers have comments, thoughts or questions I would welcome them also I will not be writing this on any particular t ime table.  When the notion strikes I will write.  When this is finished, if it is, it may sound much like a biography.  In that case there are some things I will leave out.  Some things are better not known and some I don’t want known.  Much of it may be events that shaped my life.  At other times it will be reflections on how it was “back then”.  At other times it will be thoughts on what was better “back then” and on what is better today, if anything is.  Actually some are.

I am not trying to win any writing awards so it will be in “my language” much as I would talk. It may even have a south side Virginia accent.  If you have comments please make them on content and not on grammar or on writing style.  I will tend to drift off the subject at times.  I will certainly chase rabbits at times.  But, sometimes I may put down something that is worth reading.

With all that said let’s just see how it goes and what happens.
