Life offers us new beginnings again and again. Today is the 4th day of a new year we call 2019. None of us have ever lived on this day and in this year before so it is fresh and new. What we will do with this day is up to us. We can waste or squander it in many ways–lying in bed all day, binge watching television shows or movies, worrying about things that may or may not happen. Regardless of how we use the day, each of us only have 24 hours in this day to use and then it will be gone.
This blog is a new venture. I have had two blogs previously wherein I wrote my thoughts about travel or cooking or religion or life or all of that in one posting. I want to begin again, to start new because I am living a new life in a new place and want to have all things new for once. The life I lived for the past almost 45 years is behind me and now I am in a new phase. I retired from working full time last May and now am semi-retired. I still have a part time job but half the week I am a retired person finding ways to usefully fill my time and make my life meaningful. It is a daily adventure and one that I am glad to have the opportunity to live.
If you would enjoy reading what I may write now and then, save my site notation and join me as I think about places I have gone or want to go, things I enjoy cooking or have cooked, and my reflections upon life and the way I see life. My purpose is not to convince or change the minds of anyone who may read my writings. It is just to have a forum in which I can write my observations and keep my mind sharp as I journey onward in life. If you read something and enjoy it, feel free to send me a note. If you would like to ask a question about something I wrote, please do. I welcome intelligent and open minded discussion but do not want to argue with anyone about anything.
A very good friend of mine speaks of life in this way–“Every day is a holiday and every meal is a feast.” That is the way I want to life the remainder of my days. Another good friend of mine speaks of “living in the moment”. That is another way I intend to try to live. So, join me on the journey if you wish and let each day speak to us of where we should go, what we should eat, and how we should live.
