More about me

Seriously involved with a wonderful man I met here on Eons.  We live together in Indiana with our dog Scooter who is a tweenie dachsund that rules the house.   I made this move once before but went back to Mich to gain a better relationship with my children and grandchildren.  I accomplished that but found myself lacking personal happiness, which is now complete being back here with Steve.  

Mother of three and extremely proud grandmother of four. My son and his wife have a beautiful daughter age 7 and two boys ages 3 and 4. My daughter and her wonderful man have a 2 year old daughter.

Over the last 15 years my life has definitely been a series of serious ups and downs.   I am looking forward to finding more balance in my life and the laughter that has been missing for far too long.

cry I keep my paint brush with me Wherever I may go, In case I need to cover up So the real me doesn't show. I'm so afraid to show you me, Afraid of what you'll do - that You might laugh or say mean things. I'm afraid I might lose you. I'd like to remove all my paint coats To show you the real, true me, But I want you to try and understand, I need you to accept what you see. So if you'll be patient and close your eyes, I'll strip off all my coats real slow. Please understand how much it hurts To let the real me show. Now my coats are all stripped off. I feel naked, bare and cold, And if you still love me with all that you see, You are my friend, pure as gold. I need to save my paint brush, though, And hold it in my hand, I want to keep it handy In case someone doesn't understand. So please protect me, my dear friend And thanks for loving me true, But please let me keep my paint brush with me Until I love me, too. ~ Author Unknown

Photobucket This is posted in loving memory of your son, Scott. I wish I had gotten to know him. He sounds like he was a wonderful son and he would be so proud of you. I'm sure he's smiling down on you. Much love, from your BFF, Lauren
Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you Happiness. Bad days give you Experiences. Both are essential to life. Keep going... Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrows keep you Human, Failures keep you Humble, Success keeps You Glowing, But Only God keeps You Going! Have a great day! The Son is shining!! God is so big He can cover the whole world with his Love, and so small He can curl up inside your heart. From my boyfriend Steve

"B" Attitude Be understanding to your enemies. Be loyal ... Be understanding to your enemies. Be loyal to your friends. Be strong enough to face the world each day. Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything alone. Be generous to those who need your help. Be frugal with that you need yourself. Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything. Be foolish enough to believe in miracles. Be willing to share your joys. Be willing to share the sorrows of others. Be a leader when you see a path others have missed. Be a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty. Be first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds. Be last to criticize a colleague who fails. Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not tumble. Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way. Be loving to those who love you. Be loving to those who do not love you; they may change. Above all, be yourself. ~author unknown~
I'm blessed with friends that know me well enough to know how to make the bad days brighter. Thanks Jo!!
"I Know" ** I know He is the beginning, so why do I worry about the end? ** I know He is the creator, so why do I wonder who will destroy? ** I know He has forgiven me, so why can't I forgive myself? ** I know He is a healer, so why do I speak of sickness? ** I know He can do all things, so why do I say I can't? ** I know He will protect me, so why do I fear? ** I know He will supply all my needs, so why can't I wait? ** I know He is my strength and my salvation, so why do I feel weak? ** I know that everything and everyone has a season, so why when someone's season is over do I weep instead of rejoice? ** I know He is the right way, so why do I go the wrong way? ** I know He is the light, so why do I choose to walk in darkness? ** I know that whatever I ask of GOD, GOD will give me, so why am I scared to ask? ** I know tomorrow is not promised, so why do I put off for tomorrow what I can do today? ** I know that the truth shall make me free, so why do I continue to lie? ** I know He gives us revelation, knowledge and understanding, so why do I lean on my own understanding? ** I know I should live in the spirit as well as walk in the spirit, so why do I choose to live in the spirit but walk in the flesh? ** I know that when praises go up, blessings come down, so why do I refuse to praise Him? ** I know I am saved, so why do I refuse the word He has given me? ** I know He has a plan for me, so why am I rushing it because ** I am eager to do His will, when it is His time not my time?

GOD
CAUSE MY CUP OVERFLOWED I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now. But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow. And as I go along life's way, I'm reaping better than I sowed. I'm drinking from my saucer, 'Cause my cup has overflowed. Haven't got a lot of riches, and sometimes the going's tough. But I've got loving ones all around me, and that makes me rich enough. I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies He's bestowed. I'm drinking from my saucer, 'Cause my cup has overflowed. I remember times when things went wrong, My faith wore somewhat thin. But all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeped through again. So Lord, help me not to gripe, about the tough rows I have hoed. I'm drinking from my saucer, 'Cause my cup has overflowed. If God gives me strength and courage, When the way grows steep and rough. I'll not ask for other blessings, I'm already blessed enough. And may I never be too busy, to help others bear their loads. Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer, "Cause my cup has overflowed." (by Jimmy Dean) FROM MY FRIEND JO!
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. -unknown
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don't just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly From My Best Friend Linda

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose your feelings is to risk rejection. To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest risk of all is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, he cannot feel, he cannot change, he cannot grow and he cannot love. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave. Only the person who risks is truly free -author unknown-

There are many ways to insult someone with depression, without even trying very hard. The best way is to give them some unsolicited advice. Something that you think is simple, yet profound, and potentially life changing. But said in ignorance. Nothing cuts deeper to someone with depression, than when their illness, which is serious, is trivialized by another who doesn’t understand it. Here are the some of the terrible things that people say: “This is what life is like. Get used to it.” “Life isn’t meant to be easy.” “Just snap out of it!” “Pull yourself together.” “Who said that life is fair?” “You just have to get on with things.” “At least it’s not that bad.” “Stop feeling sorry for yourself.” “You have so many things. What do you have to feel down about?” “You just need to cheer up.” “Quit trying to be a martyr.” “Stop taking all those medicines.” “I know how you feel. I’ve been depressed for whole days at a time.” “You don’t like feeling that way? So change it!” These are my favorites: “What you need is a good kick up the backside.” “Go out and buy yourself some clothes. That will pick you up.” “Are you sure you don’t have a mental problem?” “How about I cook you a good meal. That will make things better.” “Have you tried acupuncture?” “Get a job!” And the all time best: “Why don’t you try not being depressed
