The first impression should be a distinct one . . .

For a number of years, I have shared little insights. Some people have even been heard to say that about me.  They say things like, “He shares little insight.” 

Over 200 of those little insights are out there.  A number of them are residing on the web, some are resting peacefully on my computer.  The first fifty or so made it into print — thanks to my good friend, Jim.

I was never sure how many people actually read my Distinct Impressions.  I suppose blogging was my next step.  We’ll try it a couple of days and see where it goes.

Words have been my life.  Since I was young, I have read words, listened to words, spelled words, invented words, and searched for ways to arrange words to bring delight.  Occasionally, I delight someone else.  More often than not, I delight myself.  Not because anything I’ve written is delightful.  But simply because I’ve been privileged to use the words.  I understand there are places in the world you can’t do that.

In the days to come, I’ll do my best to use words to delight anyone who reads.  If you choose, share some words with me.  I’ll be delighted.
