More about me

Just tryin' to make it!

I had a high profile job making thousands of dollars a year. When my mama died I literally lost my mind. I walked away from my job! Lord!  OH Lord ,OH Lord! I just walked away.

And Iam coming to terms in a way.......with My Mother's , Sister, and brother, Aunt ,and quite a  fewfriends deaths. And Iam only 52!!!!! Its been a long road with alot of spiralling up and down...way down.

Iam starting to feel like me again. Even though I know I've been changed in alot of different ways by their passings. My approach to life is much different now.

I appreciate  life so much more now. I see colors, birds, people, sounds, rain, babies, sun, and life and so much more! Before their deaths , death was just some more stuff other people had to deal with. Not ME!  Needless to say, I've changed.

I garden and it gives me such a joy to watch  my plants grow, and the different ways they grow! Gardening has given me hope that there is a future for me somewhere out there.

Because if the Dear Lord can grow a collosal banana plant or a huge sunflower out of such a little seed, by his word I am gonna grow too.
