Everyone Has A Story To Tell
Apr 2nd, 2008 by Don Ray
Retirement in Panama has provided me the time to sit back and observe the everyday things in life more than I ever did when I was in the corporate rat race. The Internet is a wonderful thing for those who have a little time on their hands and want to learn something or want to try their hand at writing.
I think I have mentioned before that I started blogging out of a need to let my kids see that a third world country hadn’t gobbled me up and locked me away somewhere. Now, it is also providing me feedback on my daughter’s life and the experiences she is having.
Her latest blog post had me just about wetting my pants. And I am not old enough for that to be a daily problem. It seems that she is now getting to teach her oldest, Kayley, to drive. That is Kayley to the left with her new driving permission certificate. I remember teaching Kimberly and wondering if it is possible to buy a Sherman tank so she wouldn’t get hurt. To see Kimberly’s experiences with Kayley, click HERE.
If my son ever gets up enough nerve to write a blog, then some more daily adventures would unfold.
Reading my friend Peter’s new blog, is another experience that I am enjoying. His blog could easily turn into a novel one day. I think that many of us have stories that would be interesting to our children or others, if we would just tell them.
If I were as good a writer as Peter, I might take a crack at that type of blog one day. It is something to consider.
