Thoughts and Ideas

By P. J. Victor

Thoughts and Ideas is a book of poems and short essays where the author, P.J. Victor, decided to open up and share with us his beliefs. As the title indicates, they are his thoughts and ideas of the day when he wrote that particular piece. His inspirations were in fact personal things he saw happening in his life or around him. We never know when we shall be inspired. It may through a casual conversation with friends, overhearing someone else's conversation, a personal experience, or of someone close to you. At times it's just a word, a sentence or idea. For whatever reason it resonates with you, and you feel compelled to elaborate on the topic.
What this canadian author shows us in his first book is that not all men are scared to show a sensitive side to themselves. Being very sentimental in some of his writings shows a vulnerability most men shy away from. Being in touch with his emotions is pretty clear in this book. From friends and relationships, P.J. Victor opens up to us on how he views things in his ideal world.

P. J. Victor

P.J. Victor is a Canadian author who was born in Ontario, Canada, and moved to Montreal at the age of five, growing up there. His upbringing in a large family, with four brothers and three sisters, taught him the meaning of family and its importance. His European background also helped in moulding his character and the person he is today. His marriage didn't last twenty years, but had ample time to bless him with three children of his own. They are his pride and joy. Being a part of their lives is a high priority for him. Coaching his daughter and eldest son in soccer and being the vice president of the figure skating club where his daughter showed off her talent were always a thrill, never a chore. Being a member of the parents' committee at their school, including a stint as school rep at the regional board, allowed him once again to play an active role in his children's lives. Playing taxi to all their activities was always a great pleasure, giving him more time with his kids. This book allows him the opportunity to leave a little something of himself behind for them.

PREFACE AND

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Thoughts and Ideas is an accumulation of multiple influences throughout my life. Some go back as far as my teens. Others, from when I was married and some after. From personal experiences I have gone through or from the close people around me, they sparked ideas I felt a needed to write about or expand upon. Sometimes a single conversation may trigger a random thought, other times an event or a single word, even out of context, will be the inspiration. Moods also influence our way of thinking, at least at the present moment. If some writings may be negative, need not ask what the mood of the day was! But as a dreamer and eternal optimist, my biggest joy is always writing in a positive spirit, and with optimism and hope.

This compilation could not have happened without some invaluable help and input from others.

Sometimes help comes from sources that are very close to you, yet unexpectedly. I guess it would help to know what your friends and especially your family members do for a living. Having a large family gives you a lot of options of where to go to seek help. Funny enough though is when you call one up to see if they know of someone, when in fact what you are looking for is what they do for a living! Oh! Maybe awkward at first,
