Why a blog? I guess… why not?

I have been considering putting my thoughts on things down in some form for quite a long time. I have thought of writing books about a variety of topics, but never could narrow myself down to just one theme for my writing. I have had ideas to write about Michigan Travel, Lighthouses, My photography interests, and other things. But I always felt limited. I couldn’t get myself going in any one direction with enough steam to justify the effort at writing a book.

I was really stuck in the paradigm of writing, editing, publishing. More recently – and with the helpful encouragement of some family members and close friends – I have evolved my thoughts to that of writing a blog. But, even with that evolution, I found myself troubled by the idea of having a “theme” for the blog.

This week I got an email from a friend. She suggested I write, and that I let go of the idea of a single, or even a group of themes for a blog. Since then I have had many ideas for things I’d like to write about. And this will be the place where I write them.

My intent with this blog is simply to write down some thoughts I have. And, so, that’s what the title of this blog will be “Just Some Thoughts I have…”. It’s not an electric, exciting title. But, it captures what I want to do, express some thoughts I have.

A bit about me. My name is Bob. I am 51. I’m married to a wonderful, patient woman named Debbie. We soon will celebrate our 30^th anniversary. We have four adult children, all of whom are wonderful and bring much joy to our lives, if sometimes sprinkled with a challenge or two.

By day I am a project manager. After hours my interests include sports (Baseball, Football and NASCAR), camping, Lighthouses, photography, making calendars for my family and friends, and many other things.

I make no grand promises about how often I will publish.
