I never knew I was going to blog –
My wife – Sherry – told me in 2011
” You need to get on face book “
All your friends keep asking about you!
I remember my mother buying
me what was then called “Blue Jeans”
They were so baggy
and the “IN” style then was
skin tight
black or red socks
and high top
black and white
tennis sneakers!
So – I signed up for my site
and began writing short daily happenings
I called them ” JUST ANOTHER DAY IN MY LIFE”
And numbered them from the day I started in sequence!
daughters house
open a cupboard
and there are all these
containers with no lids!
I started to accumulate “Friends” outside my old friends.
And they were from all over the Country
and some from the World!
Most I did not know personally
But through our “Home Business”
but I wrote about my life
and the lives of my loved ones
and the lives of my closest
and dearest friends.
I determined that from reading the daily paper
and watching the news
That I would bring POSITIVE – FUNNY
and GOOD thoughts to my site.
There fore I very seldom do anything Political.
I keep it pretty much as I stated
Which is getting hard to do with
everything going on.
and hope one day
that we all can be nice
to each other
Then – my wife found a site that will publish
your face book writings for certain time periods
and publish them in a book form.
My one desire is to write a book on memories I have.
She choose a six month period and had it printed
It is so cool – with my picture on the front –
However – I had written so much –
That if I had them all printed –
there would be TEN full books!
could of truthfully stated this!
LOL
And she said this would be too expensive
You need to write and put it down
where we can all read it!
So , I did , eight years ago –
I started a blog – I wrote a lot but then for some reason
I quit and believe it or not – I LOST IT somewhere
IN THE CLOUD!
I could not find it again and had never written down the site!
but she told me she had met a friend
through networking
named Belinda
who could get me started again
on a new site and a new blog!
A BIG HUG TO BELINDA
So – we met – and she was talking me through the startup!
When lo and behold – we found one of the two old sites!
Yes – I had two sites and we stumbled over one of them.
It had 4 blogs and I was on my way!
That was last April – and today –
I have written over 200 blogs
and have accumulated 180 FOLLOWERS!
From all over the WORLD!
writing – family – friends
and sharing my life
The main thing is –
When I am gone – my memories will linger on.
I have no one left that I grew up with as family
except two niece’s – three great niece – and great – great niece and nephews.
My two sons – but the rest are gone.
No one remembers that life of or came before!
the one whom they call
when they want to know
about family
Today I am all that is left to remember
to put it all down
So – I write – everyday – I put down thoughts
I put down memories
I put down current events and family
THIS IS MY BOOK !
2019
70 years old
I have lived a good life – ups and downs –
Almost gone
but still here.
I record trying to stay true to my beliefs
FAMILY- CHURCH- GOD – FRIENDS – COUNTRY
” DO THE RIGHT THING”
” DO ALL THE LITTLE THINGS RIGHT – AND THE BIG THINGS –
WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES”
That is how I have lived my life.
I leave you with a quote –
“It’s not for me to question why? But for me to do or die”
When you get married – I think you both need to think about this!
almost 38 years being married!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY
