Letters to My Daughters

Ugly first draft i will call it. I am a father of two full grown beautiful young women. 3 years from retirement and still trying to make sense or rather trying to live a life of meaning- whatever that might mean.

Some people find me kind and caring and other intense, stubborn and selfish. When i try and explain what i feel it mostly end up in a confused audience- especially if i start to talk about what i feel, see and or sense. It might be Childhood trauma, DNA, Confusion, Madness, enlightenment and or none of the above…………and or all of them and everything in between, God only knows…………………or maybe the Beach boys did when they sang that song.

What i do know is that i feel as confused when i try and tell myself why and what i want to wright about. I guess that is where Random entry comes from. It sort of make sense for me.

So where does the Letters for my daughters come from? Well to be honest it is difficult to explain so that you will understand. Lets just say that i would love to share with them something, a lot of Random thoughts, entries and links that hopefully will end up one day with some nuggets of wisdom and or insight that might be useful.

Like most of us, or maybe it just me, life has become so complex that i no longer are able to ask all the questions on my mind or decide what i should do. As a good friend of mine shared, apparently the latest insights from Harvard is that in times like these it is more important to participate and figure it out as you go as to try and first make sense of it all. Easier said than done if you have tried to control all variables in your head for the last 57 odd years.

So here goes………….i will wright when i get to it, share what is on my mind and hopefully connect with a few people that find themselves in a similar place and time in their life. Oh and hopefully at the end of it my daughters will have something to laugh about, something to be concerned about and hopefully something that is helpful for them……………
