What "On The Other Hand" is about

Have you ever written something with no intention that anyone should read it? That is exactly what I did almost thirty years ago with the documents that will appear here in instalments, as I get them transcribed. 

I remember writing them and will perhaps add some comments as well to explain what I can. 

They flowed from my pen, kept in a small red six ringed binder. These ideas were important but for whom was I writing them? 

Someone whom I care about thinks they are important, and if she says they are, then they are

Addendum on June 25, 2016:
Now that those original documents are all faithfully recorded, I've decided to supplement them with new thoughts and ideas as they come to me. Like that small notebook, this can become a repository for my crazy thoughts and maybe some not so crazy ones as well.

  1. I think its wonderful what you are doing Deanna. Our thoughts and ideas can help others to grow through making them reflect a little differently than they might have otherwise. We share a little of ourselves and we pay it forward

  2. Okay, then. This answers my confusion on why you posted 117 times the first year and recently have posted only a handful of times. Your earlier posts were re-statements of prior writing. Thanks for clarifying that. BTW, interesting blog!

    1. Whoa... The date on this earlier comment sends a shiver down my spine. It was almost immediately before I collapsed and almost died last year. Days after I wrote it I was stricken with an autoimmune disease that landed me in the hospital FOR FOUR MONTHS and then had to endure physical rehab FOR ANOTHER FIVE MONTHS. Not until the end of last year was I remotely back to normal. As I continue to re-enter the life I had before, I'm glad to re-connect with you and your blog. Thanks for commenting on mine which led me back here. Best wishes to you, pal.
