Learning through living

Now that I am settling into my new digs at the Windsor Square, I have been pondering as to what to do with this blog space.

I want to personally thank all the individuals who have offered their support now and in the past.

Through blogging I have met many individuals who I may not have otherwise have had the priviledge to get to know.  Their insight, as well as their own perspectives, whether we agree or not, have and will continue to have an impact upon my own.

After all, that is what life in our community is really all about.

So what to do with this blogsite?

My political columns and upcoming reporting will appear on the Windsor Square which paves the way to make this blogsite a little more personal.

Even though there have been only 37 years to my life’s experience – there is a wealth of knowledge to be shared through my own experiences or encounters with with friends, neighbours and perfect strangers.

Several years ago before succumbing to long battle with cancer, a close friend of mine said to me that there is purpose, some obvious and some not so, to every random encounter we have in life.  

His last message to me before he died was to live everyday for tomorrow.

It’s such a simple statement that has a much deeper meaning for me – and I thought, what a great blog that could make.

Whether its planning issues in our city or a random encounter with a homeless man begging for change – everything that we do has an impact on another.

And whether we learn or not from these life lessons dictates whether or not we are capable of change, or doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Some will be discouraged from returning to this blogsite and that is fine.

For the rest, I hope you enjoy the ride, because I have no idea where it will lead.

So welcome to Living for Tomorrow Today - a site dedicated to sharing our collective experiences in the hopes of learning for tomorrow.
