I have been contemplating...
I have had several requests that I begin including some of my life's story in my blogs. That is something I have been giving some serious thought to, but have not yet made up my mind as to just how much to share with the world. My basic info is out there for the world to see. To wit:
Widowed. Male. Born and raised in the Baltimore/Washington, DC area. A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 1978. Presently living outside of Hurlock, Maryland. Just looking at this tells me that I have a lot that I can fill in. But how? In what format? Chronological or random topic? I need to make certain decisions before becoming too wrapped up in this. What do you think? I do know this: That anything I write will not be a juicy "tell-all." It may not always be G rated, but I doubt that it would ever be worse than PG.
I grew up in Baltimore. As a child we lived in several different neighborhoods of which I remember certain ones very well and others not at all. I remember instances when as a two year old I got my tricycle stuck on a curb and couldn't get it off. I remember looking at that curb as a 13 year old and being amazed that it was so difficult. I remember being bullied in school to the point that I would walk several miles out of my way so I would not have to ride the transit bus with my schoolmates. I walked several miles to a parallel route instead. I remember leaving home when I was 14 and living at the Baptist Home for Children in Bethesda, Maryland, until I graduated high school in 1975. I remember the summer of 1975 when I was suffering at Fort Dix, New Jersey for 10 weeks. That had a lot of good and bad memories. It also helped to toughen me up (as I discovered later in life.)
Yes, there is a lot I can write about in my life. I could easily continue the outline I started here. I will be elaborate on those things, and others as time goes by. Very few people know more than a sketchy outline of who I am. maybe it is time to open up and share some of the things that have helped mold me into the person I am today.
