Blogger

Hi, I’m Bill Stroud — a retired American now enjoying life in the Philippines. I started bstroud.com as a personal space to share my thoughts, stories, and a bit of creativity along the way. My Daily Musings are reflections on life and the little things that make each day meaningful. I also enjoy writing poetry and short stories when inspiration strikes.

This blog is my way of staying curious, grateful, and connected — and hopefully offering something that makes you think, smile, or just pause for a moment. Thanks for stopping by and sharing a bit of the journey with me.
