Bottom Of The 3rd Quarter

This is a collection of a most personal nature, of a lifetime in review, and leaving nothing unsaid to those that matter most to the author. This book is updated sometimes yearly, and will constitute the author's final published work, freely distibuted upon his passing and to be made available at his End of Life service.

While entertaining my whim of the moment, and what really has been on my mind for some time, I thought I would start out with what is most important. Coming from the following idea: If I should die today or be gone tomorrow, would those that I love or care for, know what I truly felt and thought about. It is an exercise of preparation, and a desire that I say and communicate such things deep within my heart and soul, while I am of strong mind and heart. I have a continual sense of purpose, that I have much left to do. I don't know what God has in store for me, but I have faith that there is more that is intended for me to do. My glass is full and I look forward to many years ahead!

In the pages that follow, you will find a collection of my thoughts of what I find most important, somewhat important, and a few random thoughts. Think of it as a capture of the view from here, while I mark passing well past the half way point. My journey up to now has been complete with a lifetime's worth of joys, sorrows, highs, and lows. I have followed my heart, and done many things I could ever care to do. In that regard, no regrets. It is a most personal reflection of private thoughts to be shared first with family and loved ones upon my passing and then made available to all those who may desire to read it
