Forwards and occasionally sidewards – everyday musings of life

After a break from blogging for many years, the desire to start publishing my musings has spurred me to start a new blog.

I write a daily journal, I scribble notes and I capture thoughts and reflections. Some are light-hearted and amusing, some are thoughtful and deep-thinking and some contain wisdom and learnings that I would like to pass on. Others are totally irrelevant, I have no idea where they come from, the grammar is poor and they’re completely out of context; I won’t share these…often!

While researching ‘best practices to start a blog’ I found lots of good advice, hints and tips. A common message seemed to be:

Write about a theme, a specific topic, or an area of knowledge.

Hmmm, the theme of this blog is me, my life experiences and ramblings…I wonder if that will interest readers…

I consider myself to have been extremely lucky in my life, sure I’ve had up’s ands downs like everyone else but I’ve had some good teachers along the way – maybe I’ll write about them later – and at 60+ years I was beginning to think it’s time to kick-back, chill and start winding down. However, I’m not ready for that life, I’ve got lots more to do and lots more life to enjoy. I want to share this next phase through my blog.

So welcome, I hope my blog interests you, maybe my writings will occasionally makes you smile…or laugh out loud… and that my experiences inspire or provide you with motivation to move forwards or occasionally sidewards in your life.

Feel free to comment or contact me as we start this journey.
