Where I Am Now
A blog about what's on my mind today.
I've been blogging since 2010. For the past few months, I have been moving posts from older blogs to this one. Eventually, I'll have just this one. You could say that I'm down-sizing - tossing old items that are no longer interesting and saving those that are still relevant. I'm also adding new content, as new ideas and inspiration come along.
"And remember, no matter where you go, there you are." - Confucius
Urban Life
One benefit of the pandemic is that it has has given us the time and opportunity to examine how we live - what works and what is missing. Old habits and ideas are called into question. New ideas are emerging. If we build on what we're learning, we can make our lives happier, healthier, and more vibrant - starting with our neighborhoods. Here are posts that look back at where we've been, and new ones that look toward the future.
"We shape our buildings, and thereafter, they shape us."
- Winston Churchill
