Introduction

Beginnings is based on the lives of Greg and Charly that propels the reader on an emotional roller coaster, as events unfold in their lives, including the more absurd and amusing aspects of life. Beginnings traverses the singledom lives of Greg and Charly and bring them together. The global benchmarks that help define them and a people unfold for each decade of their lives. Life is a continuing series of choices and adjustments that we all face. To not make choices or to leave these choices to others surrenders our personal control over life events.

We all encounter collectively many beginnings and beginnings of the end. We share them for they are part of what we call the human condition. Some beginnings are quite important; others we hardly notice in passing. Greg and Charly experience many beginnings and beginnings of the end—some predictable, some unexpected. Beginnings can have tranquil effects, bring humor into our lives, balance absurdities, or end periods of misery and pain. Some beginnings are critical moments in our lives as they forever change us for better or worse—they bring us together or tear us apart. They recycle through our existence and impact on us and on those around us with whom our lives intersect. They are intimately tied to human relationships as they strengthen or weaken the stuff that binds us. Beginnings of the end do not ask permission to intrude and their meddling can change our lives forever. Instead of anchoring our lives in stability, they create mayhem and conflict, and push us on unplanned paths.

The beginnings that impact on Greg and Charly unfold in the pages to come. Yet, these are not necessarily unique experiences and readers can relate to their own beginnings and beginnings of the end. However, I am getting ahead of myself. I would like to tell you about the circumstances of my world just before my beginning and the woman in my life, Charly . . .
