The Why & The What

I decided to start writing a blog while watching the movie Julie & Julia.  It seemed like it gave Julie something to pull her out of her rut and give her more purpose.  And it sounded like fun.  I don't know if what I write will reach anyone at all, but I hope people will read this and that they will be interested, entertained and even encouraged to think at times.  I love to write but, up until now, have mostly done it for myself, rarely showing anyone my work.  In this blog, you will find quotes and lyrics, original poetry and prose, bits of wit & wisdom to chew on and, of course, the occasional random commentary on life and the challenges it brings.

Thought For The Day

"If you planted hope today in any hopeless heart, If someone's burden was lighter because you did your part, If you caused a laugh that chased a tear away, If tonight your name is mentioned when someone kneels to pray, Then your day was well spent."  Good Night All!

As most of you who are familiar with me already know, I am somewhat computer challenged.  That said, I have decided to start this blog and, in doing so, embark on an interesting if not exciting, journey.  I will try not to be too boring and welcome any comments and/or suggestions you may have to offer.  Live Long and Prosper.
