First Thought

Hello again.
Last December I officially "ceased" publication of my work related blogs. They had been limping along for a few years anyway.  Since then I have been thinking about a new life-related blog.
stumbling block was crafting a name which wasn't too similar to another blog out there.

Several titles occurred to me. Laundry lists, mundane ragtags, magpie mob, and so on.  All of them seemed to retrieve searches from commercial sites or other people.  Now, I don't mind this serendipity sometimes.  Who hasn't enjoyed finding Ellis Peters books when looking for Elizabeth Peters?

My purpose here is to be more open to all those blogs I wanted to post in my others but felt the stated goal restricted me. 

Anyway a poem by George Herbert, " Sin's Round" reminded me of the connection between thoughts and actions. 
Today, our thoughts and actions are more under scrutiny by the public rather than for personal reflection and repentance. 

Here are a few more words about what to expect before this post gets away from me.  It will be published at least once a day if at all possible and the  posts may be one sentence, links, lists, in short,  anything I remember or am currently thinking about.  World shaking?  hardly.  I don't propose to be a Mt Etna or the Tower of Babel as Herbert describes.  I do propose to find something sometimes which strikes a spark of thought or memory in you. 

Welcome to the first memory.
