More about me

I'm active mentally and physically. In that stage of reassessing things, ready to reclaim some parts of myself that dropped away to make room for the neccessities of raising and supporting my children and dealing with 3 failed marriiages.  i'm finding discussions here a big help in redefining myself. Not surprisingly the most difficult discussions have been the most illuminating, of both other people's natures and my own.  i've found some wonderful friends. 

I've always been someone who faced their fears head on. I will not age 'gracefully' i will hike and dance into the final stages. I will laugh at myself and the absurdity of human foibles. I meditate daily, and St. Francis's prayer (Lord, let me be an instrument of thy peace) is part of my morning ritual reminding me what kind of person i'm striving to be.

Activities
Reading, hiking, playing certain (usually puzzle type) video games. Writing, brainstorming with my 25 year old dd: She writes fanfic online....i tend to poetry and personal essay type stuff....but i like thinking up 'what if' scenarios.
Favorite Music
VERY eclectic....everything from classical to country to 'Old time Rock & Roll', the dd even has gotten me into some rap music. Play 'world music' cds that are heavy on drumming when doing spring and fall deep cleanings....they keep me moving at a good pace.
Favorite TV Shows
Science (physics, space), nature, history....but also like the 'forensics' shows: Original CSI, NCIS, Criminal minds. But have no problem turning it off and putting music on while i read.
Favorite Movies
Oh, so many: What Dreams May Come, Crash, anything by Shimalyan, almost anything with a spiritual theme, or about memory/psychology issues (think Identity, Memento), or the nature of reality (Butterfly Effect, Truman Show).
Favorite Books
Mostly science, spirituality, some biography--prefer autobiographies, When in teens and 20's read a lot of science fiction, but now days rarely read fiction--the occaisional Stephen King or more likely Dean Koontz. Fiction has to 'GRAB' me by the end of first chapter or i won't invest my time. I have an eye problem that puts limits on my reading time i didn't used to have. So, i won't tire my eyes for a book that doesn't compel me.
