My Personal Credo...

​

Life is a rich tapestry woven from golden, tarnished and

occasionally broken threads which, like whisky, is best shared.

​

I enjoy being a senior ~ with an absolute lust for life,

a hunger for fun experiences with Mary,

a true love of my family, writing, travelling and photography;

all tinged with a sadness for fading and lost memories.

​

Having died twice,

lost a life-partner of thirty years and battled stage-4 melanoma,

I dedicate myself to making the absolute most of my remaining time with my lovely wife, my beautiful daughter and

my awe-inspiring grand-children.

I expend my energies absorbed in writing, playing with photography,

establishing new benchmarks and capturing memories.

I treasure my daily hour-long whicky-time sessions, going to movies, travelling and sharing new experiences with Mary

who remains at the very core of my existence.

As a pragmatist I do not fear death.

Rather, I accept its inevitability and unpredictability.

Hence it does little to dampen my desire for, and attempts to achieve, the very best the rest of my life has to offer.

'Life is but a sampling of experiences

limited only by expectations, opportunity

&

the reality of financial, physical or moral restrictions’.
