Welcome!

Should you happen upon this blog, I welcome you. I've been posting entries on another website (journaling site) for almost 2 years and I decided it was time to branch out. Actually, someone from my past got me thinking (indirectly) that maybe I should go this route, and so I am. I'm going to post both new things and old memories, and I hope whomever happens upon them enjoys reading them.

Life is too short to forget what it was that we've accomplished - as that is the fabric that ties the wood together that keeps us afloat on the ocean. If you've poor materials you will sink that much quicker.

I'm getting married on July 21st to a lovely woman I met on-line...through the previously mentioned journaling site. We both came from previous relationships with women who are bi-polar. We understood each other for that, and started reading each others entries. I quickly learned that she came from a similar background as I did, but I admit hers was a lot harder than mine. She was poorer, and had a harder life in certain aspects, but knew who she was for a longer time, and I admired that about her greatly. She didn't have the life experience of me, but not a lot of people do. I'm proud of my experiences and look forward to another 40+, if the universe so allows.

I like to joke that I imported a "nice midwestern gal", but I sometimes wonder if she didn't escape? I think in a way she did, and in a way I found my perfect June to my Ward.

Life should continue to be interesting...I hope you enjoy the ride.
