8/15 Motivation

My primary motivation for writing this blog every day, or at least catching up ever week or so, is staying connected with my family.  I just think of the letter that my great grandfather wrote to his grandchildren.  I've read through it so many times.  Loved the blue ink and old almost transparent typing paper.  But have always wanted to know more about his trip around the world.  While I know my writing is nothing epic, I do hope and believe that one of my great grand nieces or nephews and maybe even great grandchildren will read this silly simple blog with the same fascination that I read my great grandfathers simple but oh so elegant letter to his grand children and so lucky great grand children.
