SOMETHING ABOUT THE BLOG


As the title says --this blog is an archive holding the contents of my first blog started in 2004 in another blog site. Unfortunately the site was slowly withering away. And so I moved out albeit reluctantly because I had found wonderful friends there. To make a long story short, with 173 total posts in tow I found blogspot -- year 2007.

So here I am now. WELCOME to my blog home!

Dear fellow students of Life,

We travel the same road; we all have our stories to tell and basically share the same interests and moments. Moments which we'd gladly share with anyone who would care to stop awhile and listen.

Take care. God bless you!

Ellen :-)

P.S.
For current posts (2009 - 2010 - onwards), may I refer you to IN RETROSPECT - A JOURNEY. Thank you. Have a blessed life :-)

The blog gives full expression to --- life, experiences, impressions, observations, moments, events, places, and people. There's so much to learn, see, and discover. I'm taking this journey and sharing it with you. ( P.S. Except for family pictures and those taken by my daughters, so too the paintings and sketches ... most of the pictures here come from other sources on the internet. If you happen to find yours here and want to remove it, just say so and I will graciously do it for you. Thank you. )
