Let's Get Started

I retired at the end of June 2015 and always thought that I should create a website or a blog for my reflections which are really more along the lines of my ramblings.

It's now February 2016 and as I sit overlooking the ocean in sunny Myrtle Beach, I finally bought a domain name and here is my first post. I'm not new to this, I do have a couple of websites, but this one is different. It's personal,  it's from the heart, the soul and my mind and it will be filled with a mirror of reflections on anything and everything that might have mattered over the years.

I once read a quote by Graham Greene who said:

"Life was lived in the first twenty years and the remainder was just reflection."

That quote resonated with me. Isn't it interesting how a memory is evoked by a mere a simple cue like a few words from somebody, an image, a daydream, a tune, an action, a photo, a flashback or something you read that immediately sends you from that point of reality to a reflection from the past! Before you know if you've dis-engaged from what you were doing and begin to enjoy that remnant or snippet of a previous time.  And you thought it was called day dreaming! Those are precious moments savored over and over again.

Others may think of this blog as memory lane, for me, it's Retirement Reflections turned into my ramblings. For most, it will be trivial, for me, it's a record of the many reflections that cross my mind.
