Just WHAT IS up MY alley?

Ya know the expression, "that's right up my alley"?  Well, I'm asking myself, "just what IS up my alley?" What should my blog be about? What do I have some experience in, or do pretty well, or am kind of a natural at? What do I know (if anything)?.......... I'm 53 years old, there should be a couple things, right? Off the top of my head, I'm coming up with organizing, customer service, ethics, honesty, truth, being real, writing/journaling, life, adversity, travel, Europe, WE THE PEOPLE, America, relationships? All things I know very well. But we shall see, we shall see. This is going to take some pondering, at least overnight. So, let me see what I come up with. Maybe all of the above? and maybe more?

Well, I slept on it. And after much contemplation, I think this blog will be about..................SOCIETY TODAY! Sometimes, we don't see things that are right in front of our face.  I want to be a journalist, so I think I will attempt to REPORT as much as possible. Reporting things as they're happening, as I see/hear them, and sticking to the facts as much as possible. That being said, I'm human, and staying away from editorials is not going to be totally possible. So you will see editorials & essays on my blog as well. Because a lot of FACTS on certain subjects could be hard to come by you'll also see a lot of "Tweet"-like thoughts.

For the past 13 years, I have been a full-time caregiver, here in West Palm Beach, FL, to my mother who has Parkinson's. For a couple of years I was also the primary caregiver to my step-dad, who passed away in 2009, due to complications from Diabetes. Caregiving is my main role these days, so, there probably will be a lot of reporting on that - not the most exciting or interesting of subjects, but I'll do my best. And seeing as this is becoming more and more of an issue for so many of us late baby boomers, maybe it will prove to be purposeful.

Other issues I will be reporting on, that are ever present in my life, would be: the media, Corporate America and general business practices, family & community.  So, you can count on LOTS of reporting, and lots of editorials, on these subjects as well. I'm going to try and stick to "just the facts" as much as I possibly can - that's going to be hard - I can see there's probably going to be a lot more "Tweet"- like, "Food for Thought" comments - at least in the beginning, as my first "report" will be - till I really delve into this.

I THINK I'll try to "report" something once a week. We'll see how time permits. I'll appreciate any and all comments, feedback.

Thanks.
