O knihe

In 2012, I wrote a memoir entitled "Retired . . . and Loving It!!" At that time, I covered every subject I wanted to write about, or so I thought. Then after publication, I began having second thoughts. Wait, that's not right. I had a second thought and decided not to write anything further. Then I had a third thought. I understand lots of people claim to have second thoughts about a particular matter, but if they have more than one, how can the one after the second also be a second thought?

Frankly, I don't know how anyone can have second thoughts about the same subject. Anything beyond a second thought is a third, fourth, fifth, etc., at least by my count. It was on my third thought that, since I discovered other things to write about, I decided to set them out in a mini memoir as a sequel to my earlier book. I checked with an online publishing company and found several books entitled "On Second Thought" and "On Second Thoughts" and related titles. For those who chose the latter title, they probably didn't give it much thought. But I did, and I didn't find a single book that bore the title "On Third Thought." So that's the one I chose; as they say, the third time is the charm.

This sequel to my 2012 book-my mini memoir-focuses on three general subjects. First, my reflections on things past; second, living in the present, since it's the only time we can live (the past is history and the future lies ahead); and third, making sure that, to the best of my ability, my future is bright and enjoyable by remaining involved in matters of interest and importance to me.

And if I can write a book about me, you can write one about you. So get on with it.
