why do I blog?

Of course, blogging is new to me. I have figured I am not going to be followed, but it makes no difference. This whole thing is a kind of therapy to cope with tragedy. It is a bit of my history, philosophy and wisdom gained over 7 decades. I really hope that my grandchildren and great grandchildren and beyond will gain some insight and personal strength. After all "We are what we think." That philosophy is an old as Confucius and still valid. It is mind over all events and actions.
