Love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image... otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. ~Author Unknown

And so it begins . . .

Here I sit at "middle age" and finally doing something I wanted to do for 30 years. . .  write.

As most of us have experienced, I never thought I was good enough.  I was insecure.  I could not imagine anyone wanting to read what Rox wrote.  What information could I share that would be note worthy, informative, or entertaining?

But perhaps it's the "middle aged" thing that gives me the courage to finally pursue my interest.  Let's face it  . .  . at 51 it's "now or never".  And at this stage in my life, it is not so important to receive approval from my friends, family and peers as it is to feel I have contributed something to enrich our relationship.  And if that small "enricher" is to make you laugh, or cry, or question . . . then I've accomplished something.

So let's see how this "blogging" thing goes.  

I have a few basic things going on in my life that will appear in my Blogs:  My Beach/Lake Life; my love for photography (some call it an obsession); my increasing interest in spiritual things (aka: The Lord); and a mix of small incidental non-important things.

I hope you enjoy.

  2. Note: As I listed some of the things I will write about, I should have added my loved ones - My son, daughter, daughter in law, and the "man" in my life who inspired me to do the photography AND write.
