About

This blog is a compilation of thoughts and ideas that I either hope to remember on my journey through life or that I couldn't resist putting out there for all to see. The various quotes and statements within these pages are merely interpretations of the experiences I have had, the books I have read, the emotions I have felt, the advice I have heard and the numerous thoughts I have whirling about upstairs.  

I would of course feel utterly foolish if these writings were to be interpreted as an attempt to put on display that which I know, or taken as me pretending to have answers to all of life’s difficult questions.  For the most part, these things I do not have.
   
I do however have a daily pre-bedtime ritual of chronicling the day that was, and with notebook in hand, uncoiling the many thoughts in my head.  On many a night this chronicling is shaped around a review of the day’s mistakes, or misguided emotions or general errors in cognition.  

Every now and again at this same time however, I’ll come up with a useful thought or two, and perhaps even a morsel of wisdom to boot. In essence, these are things "I've been doing some thinking" about which may help me better navigate life’s battles and daily frustrations tomorrow than I have today.

I have always benefited from hearing and reading the viewpoints and insights of those around me. So perhaps, in some small way, one of the following "Foote Notes" or essays will in turn do the same for another.

Respectfully,

William D. Foote
