| Introduction | Six Months, Blog I am writing about the six months before I enter my third life stage. I think this is a look at my life and how to go forward into change and the questions that will bring. I have lived an arts kind of life and raised a family , lets say in some area my life has been enriched by the arts and by a life interest in learning. Like most people and woman I have to learn how to look after myself and rediscover who I am. Before the next era.///// Once Bitten honouring past living now. I listened to my Father talk of his life. His early life, his work then the great depression to the years he spent as a soldier in WWII. His stories opened my eyes to knowledge beyond my years and a desire to study history. First it was theTudor's, then WWI & II to make sense of conflict. I read biographies to cross reference information. Eventually I learned European and American and of course Canadian history. It never fails to capture my imagination. Only regret to not have become a history teacher. |
