The Narrow Line

We walk a lonely road
Or so I have been told
That life's a lonely journey for us all
But here I'd like to say, somewhere along the way
We choose how we stand and how we fall

For to walk upon this earth, there's a price I have to pay
For all you do and say, and all you hope and pray
And all that you oppose and obey

And all that you believe, and all you laugh and grieve
and what you have become today

And to think the way I do, there's a price I have to pay

Walk the narrow line, walk the narrow line
Walk the narrow line back home
I'll walk until I find, my truth and piece of mind
I will walk the narrow line

Peace will come, your peace will come
When all is said and done
It's only a memory away

And when you find peace, and all your angers cease
Then you'll make some sense of it all
Then the promises of truth, that shone so bright in youth
Give way to greater knowledge as they fall

To be truthful to myself, there's a price I have to pay

Getting Organized

Six letters to Ferris Family in Halifax and the surrounding area being sent out today to attempt to locate and communicate with the descendants of Charles A Ferris, brother of my great-grandfather Robert J Ferris.

Also worked a little on my MacDonald--MacEcheran -MacPhee branch thanks to Tammi and Pete who continue to add new content to our family tree. Added documents from my cousin Lorraine pertaining to our Nickerson branch.

Focused on my great grandfather Robert J Ferris and his family for a couple of days tightening up time lines for him using census, city directories, and other records to attempt to follow the places he lived from birth to death. There are some strange events that happened there.

Going to try and concentrate on organizing all the various documents I have both as hard copies and as electronic media into files organized by Family Surname and then owner of document in the windows computer. In the Linux computer my goal is to do the same as above and additionally attach all the media to that specific person in GRAMPS so that on the next WebSite version each person will have all the proper documents and media attached to them.
