We are starting a new year. It's a time of goals and resolutions. It's also true that many of us need to remember or follow through. This year instead of the usual, I use the word experience.
I choose to experience writing about the Civil War veterans and their wives/families, who are buried in the cemeteries here in the Pikes Peak Region. This can be tricky for there are many assumptions about veterans that I will need to be aware of.
Some of those assumptions may deal with which side of the conflict they served on. So many of us make choices we may or may not regret, yet, those choices do not define us unless we let them. There are at least two who not only served with the South, but when they moved out here after the conflict, they left a positive mark on the region. Their wives, who sometimes are forgotten, will be the focus of most of these posts.

What will be your choice of experiences in 2024? What is something that has been waiting to experience? What is holding you back?
As we head into the coming twelve months let's take joy in being alive, and follow the dreams you thought couldn't happen. They won't unless you grab hold and start in.
Wishing you all the best and enjoy those experiences.

DeleteOoh... This is a great topic to write about. I'm all 'eyes' and anticipation to read what you share with us.
ReplyDeleteIt should be a fun (I say with a grin) to try and find the stories of these women. I do hope people will find it interesting. Doris
