Someone asked me recently - why web pages? What possessed me to make my own web pages? I have one simple answer - it makes me feel good and makes me happy to know that I touch people out there, even people I don't know in a positive way. AND, it's so much fun! It's like being a carpenter. I gather all my tools and materials and start to build. And when I got myself started, I could not stop, nor do I want to stop.

It started some three years ago when I was going through some bumps and curves in life. Not that my life is smooth sailing now, it's just that I found a way to lighten my load - through my web pages. I created my very first web page as a way of reaching out to the world. It was so simple. I called it Reflections of Life . This is a revised issue. When I first started, I didn't know anything about HTML, JPEGs or GIFs. I used one of those ready made templates. Then, I discovered that I can put a lot of goodies on it, like music, counters, even a guestbook. So, there I was, surfing, reading, researching, printing and reading, copying and pasting and having so much fun. I wanted to learn more and do more.

On one of my surfing expeditions, I discovered personalweb.about.com.. This web site has been a big help to me. I look forward to receiving my weekly newsletter and discovering new stuff they have to offer.

Now I have at least 20 web pages. What are they about? They are about everything that I think is important in life - family, friends, love, hope and anything that money can't buy. Sometimes, we get extremely busy that we forget what brings us real joy - the simple pleasures of life. I read a passage that goes this way "Be alive this day, as though it were not first or last, just best."
