Working on a novel and one of the characters bears more than a slight resemblance to yours truly.It is amazing how many specific memories come cascading out, and to some degree it is like reliving moments as though they were happening again. Vivid words of yesteryear as well as individual persons who played significant roles in my life apparently were neatly stored in my brain.

While writing I realize how many people have contributed peak experiences to the journey, and I wish there was a way to name each one in the novel.I will write again today and experience “back to the future moments.The neat thing is that much of the past still has a presence in life, and gratitude for all that has happened takes center stage.
