Words across time-Painting pictures on my mind

My book is a collection of writings that I began in my early teen years. Like most young teenagers, I was questioning everything about life. This it seems does continue throughout life. The answers to these questions change greatly as one goes through the aging process. I have organized these writings in much the same way they were written. The writings change greatly over the years. The subjects and interest remain much the same. It appears that what changes may be the way a person accepts and understands lifes conditions.

I just recently turned 80 and have long planned on putting some of my writings in book form, so that my family and friends could have access to my thoughts after I am gone. I found it was more work than I had expected. I told my daughter that I am happy that it is almost finished but I am not sorry that I finally attempted this project. She said "Mom the important thing is that you are not sorry that you stayed with it, even when you didn't know what to do next." My friends and family offered this kind of encouragement. It is greatly appreciated. Joan Jackson Kelly Freeman

I was born in Buffalo N.Y. but my family settled in Potter County God's Country, in the 1800's and many still live there. It is the best that I have seen,so far. I currently live in Orlando, Fl. I have been helping to nurture Monarch butterflys for the last 3 years, just recently gave it up. I am hoping to spend more time in Coudersport, Pa in the future. Joan Jackson Kelly Freeman
