About Me and my Life…

Hello Readers,

Relatively new to the enormous expanse of knowledge open to all via the internet I have somewhat immersed myself in a fantastic ‘learning curve’. Piloting this knowledge gathering vessel fills me with ecstatic yearning and rooted to the spot fear in equitable measure.

 As inevitably perusing all the wonderful educational valued material herein has lead me to pursue an ultimate self questioning of how choices made along lifes highways have brought me to this point in time and space. Thoughts of examining then documenting my life story have become a necessity for recovery.

Whilst accepting this unravelling piece of historical revisionism is not unique by any description I claim only that far from being the rule, it is undoubtably a exception to many. Whilst it remains true people reliving events from their pasts immediately attempt to improve their particular part in any given situation, no one likes to be viewed in a bad light!. That being said introduces the concept of exactly why that is
