In the Beginning...

For those of you that like to read stories of other peoples lives, here is one more (hopefully) daily reflection to add to the pyre.

I am Monastic by nature and always have been, I suppose. Monastic (adj. to mean secluded & contemplative)is how I wish to live my life. I'm not really sure why but I am most happy when I am alone.

Today, as every day I am full of wonderings, ponderings, theories, and the such. Some days I feel as if I will explode if I don't write my feelings down. Nothing special about my musings...probably a little mundane, even. Never-the-less I shall write them down and post them whenever I get the chance.

I am Monastic by nature but life requires that I work to survive. I work a 9-5, five days a week with 2 days off. At work, my body is on Auto-Pilot. Away from the workplace, the rest of my time is spent doing the stuff I enjoy such as:

Taking care of my gardens - 2 vegetable 2 herbal and many small flower gardens.
I enjoy Antiques and Photography and recently GeoCaching.
Music - Jazz and Blues sometimes Classical or whatever, depending on my mood.
Running through the fields and woods with my 2 Labrador Retrievers.

I have many other hobbies and collections too numerous to mention at this time. I will go into more detail...later.
