One evening over a year ago, with no forethought that I recall, I sat down and started writing this blog. Some friends were already blogging and I loved reading their posts. But though I had always enjoyed writing and had taken some writing workshops over the years (and even had a stack of unpublished letters-to-editors in my desk), I never had the ambition or the sitzfleisch to pursue a writing life.
Yet that evening the blog title “World Thru Brown Eyes” came to me in a flash and I resolved to start blogging about things that moved me – childhood memories, family and friends, pleasures and displeasures, favorite books and places, beloved pets, gratifications and regrets – and to write it all with a touch of humor or pathos.
My sister Laurie was in heath crisis at the time and I think writing about her then was cathartic in helping me deal with her devastating illness. In fact once I started blogging, the floodgates opened and memories and ideas came pouring out.
So enjoy the read and please leave a comment. I know posting comments on the blog may be confusing at first, but I hope you’ll persist. Then you can tell me how this old world looks to you!
Happy New Year!

I am so glad you were inspired to begin blogging. And I love the new picture of you with the laptop.
Thanx P, I wanted to see if blonde bloggers have more fun!
I'm glad that he was found safe and you were free of torturous worry.
Vivian, I realize this comment refers to the post Missing Pussycat Redux, don't know why comments sometimes migrate to the wrong post, but thanks and you're right, my worry was torturous!
