What can the Past tell you about the Future?

I have always loved stories from the past.
 Even as a kid, I had a wild imagination and
 loved to imagine people who had
 great or terrible adventures.....
all from things such as an unpaid electric bill stuck in the bricks of a fireplace mantle.....
or a letter left unanswered.

I was absolutely sure,
 back when I was eleven or twelve, 
that some poor relation of mine had met his demise at the hands of a ruthless 
kidnapper or somesuch.  

Delays in the Journey

I have a Motto:    

If you don't do something
 at least twice, 
it just isn't any fun.

the real you

One of the most difficult 

things to remember is 

that each person is 

a unique and distinct being. 

We seem to spend an enormous amount of time and effort seeking to be like everyone else 

and then feel dissatisfied. 

In the midst of trying to fit in with the crowd,

 we yearn to be unique.....

Kindred Spirits- A Century Apart

I love to read.  

Books.  

Mostly biographies and journals.  

I am not typically a journal writer myself. 

 Yet, if given the option 

between a journal and/or a collection of letters

 or the latest fiction, 

I will choose the journal and letters every time.
