About the blog and what’s in the name Reflections?

I am new to the blogging world. I have several friends who have started blogging in order to keep up with each other in this busy world we live in.

I travel extensively with my job. I see more in a month than many people see in a year. And what I see in a year is often more than some people see in a lifetime. Travel is much more enjoyable if you don’t take things too seriously and just roll with the flow. The attitude you have makes a huge difference, it can make you or break you.

As I was flying coast to coast this week from Wilmington, NC to Portland OR I thought about it and decided what a great way to share my funny stories from the road with friends.

There is a greatest hits album by Tim McGraw called “Reflected”. In thinking about a name for my blog I was thinking what a great description for a greatest hits album.

I was thinking about reflections and what I think of as reflections. As you look in a mirror the reflection is what you see today. You can look to the past in a reflection and if you look on the surface of water you can even see reflections of things to come.

Since I am held captive on airplanes and in airports I have plenty of time to reflect (looking forward, backwards and even what’s going on at that moment). As I listen to music on my iPod I think about friends that a song reminds me of and even events in my life. As bad as I am at keeping in touch I still think of the wonderful friends and experiences I’ve had through the years.

When I was trying to make myself decide whether or not to blog I was thinking what would I have to talk about? Then I started making notes (you do that at my age) and the ideas started flowing…

I could write about:
Friends in my past that I think about and stories about these precious friends.
Movies I’ve seen that changed me or made me think.
Funny and not so funny travel stories from the road.
Life in the Carolinas where I call home.

So here’s to a new year and a new Blog. I'm going to try and post a few stories a week. I don't think I can commit to a daily blog. You know men and commitment.
