A full life is the opposite of an empty one. A life can be full of contemplation or observation or activities, or some combination. The distinguishing characteristic of a full life is that it is one lived consciously, with intention, dedication. Thoreau put it this way: "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what they had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Someone else could say: "I went to Broadway.." Or "I chose a career in medicine ." Or I decided to be my own boss." Whatever the components of your life, they should fit you like a belt.

This section of the site contains some of my favorite components. They are offered in the spirit of discovery, for you and for me. I never know what I think until I spell it out on paper. I hope you find one or more of the entries entertaining, even educational. We learn from one another.
