Journals revisited 50 years

   I nostalgically found my junior and senior year of high school journal and reflections on leaving O'Rafferty H. S. for the real world. I used the journal as self medication for insecurity and doubt about who I was and understanding how to make myself a better person. I've tried through out my life to keep some sort of a journal to be able to look back as to how changes take your life and how you adapt. Looking back you can see how close or far you were from reality or insight that keeps you willing to write and learn. Over the past 2 weekends Jane and I had dinner at Chedders with Steve and Ronda and to celebrate Adrianna's 12th birthday. I have added a blood pressure med and it has stabilized my readings. Spring is here but not until May did it burst forth. It has still been seasonable in temperatures which is fine with me. In one week everything bloomed and budded green releasing pollens which usually happens over a few weeks in April. Time for more reflections, dream on seasoned man.
