I've decided to start a blog.  Are blogs still a thing?

I turned 40 this year.  When 2020 started I had a lot of plans.  New York, Portugal, sky diving, getting back into shape, maybe even finding a bit of love but you know what happened next.

I've called this The Late Bloomer because I have always felt that I come to things a bit later than most people.  And because I want to continue to hope that I will do something that will leave a mark in the world.  Create something that will remain after I'm gone.  That will prove that I existed and mattered. 

​

So this is me trying to do something.  I don't know if any of this will be any good or if people will want to read what I write but in the end, at least, I'm actually doing it. 

​

I hope it inspires or at least creates a mood.  

 

Here we go…
