| Introduction | I am a curious mix of a character who is shy, yet also quite loud & gregarious! I have three sons. I know I have been blessed by having my sons: each of my tiny babies was a miracle - not because I had any medical problem - but because I STILL marvel at the sheer brilliance of how we are created and formed! There have been years of love, laughter, challenging times & unexpected hiccups in my life, but I always did things to make my home a cocoon and a haven for my sons. Did I ever want to throttle them?! Well, not really - but, God, they kept me busy, made me laugh, made me cry & kept me awake! ... Not when they were tiny, helpless babies – but NOW, while they’re 6' tall! ... I got divorced when they were very young - not what I had 'planned', but that's what happened. Have I made any mistakes? Sure - but not too many, I hope - but, whatever I did, I believed to be the absolute right thing at that time. I loved my husband, totally and without reservation when we married and had our sons, but sometimes, life itself changes things, and you find yourself taking a path you never, EVER thought you would ever have to tread ... |
| Interests | My 'interest-quotient' knows no bounds! I am interested in almost everything! (Please try not to confuse that with actually KNOWING too much about anything...!).. It's like I 'think' of something - and almost immediately, MUST do something about it! Then again - I dither, just a bit! See? Completely at odds - even with my own brain! .. Well .. it makes for a more interesting and spontaneous life, doesn't it?! I almost never know what the day's going to have in store for me ... But hey, at least it creates many discussions, some admonishing - and a lot of laughter amongst my friends and family..! As in "Oh no.. What are you thinking of doing NOW?!" Ha ha .. That's me, though .. |
