You forget...

Today I was told that I forget how good my life is.

And I can say with conviction that I do not and I am grateful for my good fortune. I like, everyone I suppose, mope around at times at the mundanity of everyday life.

I, sometimes, feel that maybe I could do, could have done more in and with my life. I just finished reading Joanne Fedler's book "When Hungry, Eat" and in her final chapter she says: "Keep a journal, make a note of the daily aspects in your life and never assume that noone would be interested."

I think that this is what my blog is about. A record of my random thoughts and maybe I can expand on it and add a daily entry. My daughter was little when my father passed on and the other day she says tell me the Dreams of my Grandfather and I want her to know him through my memories of him and yet even this powerful force in my life fades with memory.

Keep a record of this life, even if it is mundane, if not for nothing more than for the opportunity to look back at leisure.
