Reality, Fantasy, Notes and Other Notions on Reflective Journeys of the Mind

By Joan D. Adams

This book is a historical account of the history about some of the stories I wrote in my first book. I found it to be a labor of love and nice memories recalling my memories of family members who have passed. I made the title of this book,'Reality, Fantasy, Notes and Other Notions -1- On Reflective Journeys of the Mind, By Joan D. Adams'. And that is precisely what this book attempts to be. A little bit of reality, some fantasy, notes that come to mind and other notions or ideas I have on subjects at hand and in my book.
This is my historical recovery of events or my attempt at trying to recall events surrounding some of the stories I wrote about in my first book, before I started to forget, in the hopes they might be interesting and informative about things that might not happen everyday, or people might not see or hear about everyday. I hope I have accomplished this and readers do enjoy this book.

Since completing my last book, I have gone onto get my CDA, with acting, dancing, modeling, flute, sewing, photo and motorcyclye lessons. I still have many interests I still hope to accomplish. I may be doing volunteer work soon, and will see where that leads me. I'm also interested to see where my newly acquired above skills may lead me too. I'm trying to keep an open mind and not be too set in my ways, not being too old to learn new tricks. I think the way I've lived my life, via testament of this book, might make this goal a little easier. At this point I just have aspirations and dreams and I am just looking forward to the process of accomplishing and attaining some of those aspirations and dreams. I want to wish the best and give thanks to everyone.

Preface

Hi, everybody, this is Joan Denise Adams. You know when you do something for the first time, a song, a book, a movie, a show, a dance, you have fans. They’re all waiting for you to do something else, a second thing, dance, song, book, etc.

I realized my fans were waiting for my second book. I was too. I’ve been thinking about stories and thinking about writing stories, when I realized I really had unfinished business I should take care of first.

You’ve heard the saying life is stranger than fiction. Well, in my case, pertaining to my first book and my story writing, it’s true. Some of the stories from my first book had history to them, I thought the public might find interesting and/or more interesting than the stories themselves.

I thought I better get that out of the way before I attempted to write
