Moving to a proper blog…

I have just begun a blog here on wordpress, and I am looking forward to exploring all the options. I’ve had a brief photoblog elsewhere, which I will move over here — eventually, though I haven’t updated it in a long time.  I also have a blog, that I do update (or have) on another site. It’s not a blog site and it’s quite limited in its functionality. I’m attempting to figure out how to transfer those posts. It doesn’t fit any of the existing formats, so I have to play around somewhat, or I’ll be uploading them individually and backdating them. I don’t expect anyone who starts following this blog to catch up – unless you want to, of course. That would be daunting.
Anyhow, I am here, I will be starting to blog as I get things set up and as I figure out the system.  I’m sure someone’s reading this blog wondering about my title.  It was partly coined in honour of C.S. Lewis, but it came about as a title of the newsletters I would send home as I was travelling. One day I’ll upload the text of those emails, but that’s quite far off in the future.
So, welcome to my blog, join me as I explore what it means to live well on this journey called life.  For now, I leave you with a quote:

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”


Ralph Waldo Emerson
