The Welcome Post

This is the welcome post. That is the very first post. No pageviews as of right now. But i am confident that i will view these pages, so there will be at least one!

There will be others. That is my plan. I will be the only visitor for some time. I know this. But eventually someone will see this because i will tell others about it.  And i will implore them to visit. 

Sometimes people start blogs and then they gradually disappear. Perhaps i should say often. How many blogs are there do you suppose?  My hope is that this will be the beginning of a long term blog that will grow and change with time. 

 This is the Infinite Aperture Vista Blog - which is a companion site to my web site:

I am creating this post to share my beliefs about wellness, about what i have learned over time about people, their motivations, their misunderstandings, their adventures, their dreams, their challenges and successes. I love when people beat the odds. I am a champion of the underdog. I always will be. And though i wear the hat of therapist here, you will always find current events that pique my interest and little tidbits about things i care about. People are not one dimension- so this will be an adventure for both of us. I don't really know how it will turn out...but the writing will guide me. And you, the valiant reader will too. 

Now today's NEWS:

The BP well as of this writing is not permanently sealed. They (BP) said it would happen in August. Well.. it's not getting as much publicity...but people's lives on the Gulf Coast have changed irrevocably and forever..
It is reported someone in Colorado with a fire pit started the wild fire on Labor Day! 

Another round of peace talks in Sharm  el Sheikh with Israel and the Palestinians.
