Looking forward to yesterday..

Most of today has been spent looking forward to yesterday. Kinda weird.. as if we were standing in a Star-Trekkie, Einsteinian tear in the fabric of space-time, if that makes any sense? (to most of my nephews it will). You may say "what in the heck is he talking about! He's finally lost it."

Well yesterday, I managed to take some good advise from folks in the family and started this blog thing. The only problem was that in the process of establishing what should be included in the blog alot of questions have been raised. For instance, Lili is convinced that this is just another crazy thing that I got involved in, and who knows she may have some points, (I'm not all there - mentally that is - all the time). However, I want it to be more than that. As Michelle, my brother's wife says in her blog (quite good, you should check it out) that this can and may serve as a way of preserving a piece of our lives and possibly add to our family histories to the benifit of those that come after us. If that is so, then a good deal of care must be taken to illustrate what that may be.

That whole concept has made me ponder? What is worth preserving? what is too private or too personal to share. And if you believe as I do, that the the "heart" of things, the kernel-of-truth are what is most valuable and should be shared. Then you have to put yourself out there, if it's really going to matter.

I've been going through old photos, albums and the like, seeing images of loved ones.. parents, kids, brothers, sisters, and friends. So many images and memories have been rekindled. Smells, sounds, and tastes have flashed through the mind and perception, and I find myself wanting to save it all! But I know that it's not practical, nor wise. Somethings are gone forever.. and they will never be back. Somethings should not be repeated as they are not meant to be. Like those horrible clothes we used to wear, but there is so much of yesterday that is good and wonderful, if we can only connect to it again. So I hope to post those things from yesterday - today..to benefit tomorrow. You'll be seeing some flashes from the past and you may stare in shock and horror. And you will ask the eternal question.. Why do we only have pictures of us eating? Well, the answer is.. I don't know, but the food sure was good! Let's all go "WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE".

Love,
