More about me

 Mother of three and extremely proud grandmother.  My son and his wife have a beautiful 4-1/2 year old girl and two boys ages 1 and 2.  They have their hands full!  My daughter and her partner just had a baby girl in February.  Mateyah is beautiful and healthy and a welcome surprise for all of us.

I moved to a new state last summer and am living with a wonderful man.  I have found my happiness as he promised me I would when he found me on Eons just over a year ago.  It is possible to start over again and be happy at any age!

Just recently his 15 year old grandson moved in with us, so we are getting to enjoy the trials and tribulations of raising a teenager again as well! 

I have discovered over the last two years that I can still laugh and that I can still make friends and be a friend.  That my sister and brother are the most important allies I could ever have.  I found that by giving more of myself to others I feel better about myself and am less focussed on feeling sorry for myself.

 I still find it a struggle to live in the "outside" world, but I am working on that.  I consider myself to be a work in progress.  And hopefully I always will be. 

I have learned that material things are just that and what really counts are the people you love and the people who love you.  Always let those people know how you feel because you may not get the chance tomorrow.

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 Wear a mask

wealth OR AS MY GRANDDAUGHTER LINDSEY SAYS WHEN A FRIEND TAKES HER TOY, "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD AND I HAVE ALL THAT I NEED".
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
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 friend Steve
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-

"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?
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
