It's like that first spark of sunshine on the eastern horizon.
Everything else is dark, quiet, barely a wisp of air. Suddenly like spear in the air rays of light begin gleaming and a new day is dawning. That is how I feel about this first experience in Steemit. I am 65 years old. Born in the Howdy Doody, Roy Rogers, Sky King days of the 1950's. High was my father's ham radio and his trusty slide rule. And today the paths seem endless. I have spent a lot of my life dreaming of a time when the ideas in my head could find a place to reveal themselves and enter the hearts and minds of others.
It is my hope to take the wonderful life mosaic that I have woven in the many careers, experiences and times into stories that might entertain and be enjoyed by others. Our history was being told by story tellers long before the printed word. Our memories, sometimes so bright, are quick to fade. And when our time on earth is over, they are gone in a blink. I hope to be able to express as many different ones as I can and hope to exchange thoughts and ideas with as many different kinds of people as possible.
Topics I am most interested in right now include:
- Arriving at a crossroads when retirement from the 8 to 5 job comes to an end. Spending time in an RV exploring the country, seeing family and friends whenever we want. Going from total neophyte to RV Full Timer should be fun.
- Having worked my entire life, how does one re-define themselves in a way is new and exciting. How does one live when everything is not wrapped around the time clock and paycheck.
- Stories I've told and ones in my head that might have a place to play themselves out. Poems, puppet scripts, radio commercials, movie ideas and who knows what else will spring upon these pages.
Most of all I hope to learn how to properly format, add pictures and links in a way that will be interesting to the
passers by. It is the first step in the adventure. Care to come along?
