I love life and having fun. I try to keep a smile on my face, compassion in my mind and love in my heart. I am privileged to be a wife,mother,grandmother, sister, and friend. Many wonderful people have touched my life and I am thankful to God daily.I am in my mid sixties and have lead a very full life. There have been many ups and downs, but I try always to go forward and play the cards I have been dealt. I have donated a kidney to my sister, owned my own Occupational Health and Safety Consulting business, had two back surgeries, learned to walk all over again in 2007 after a ruptured disc that wrapped around my sciatic nerve. I love the Lord and became a Jewish Believer in 2003. I am thrilled to have an art studio that let's me paint and a notebook computer that lets me write away and shop online as well as do my spreadsheets. I got my car, house, job, clothes, furniture, pets online. I try not to spend too much time watching TV, I wish that I could take the long walks that my daughter and I and her children used to take. I love clothes, and try always to look my best even when I am at home. I had a Near Death experience in 1975 and have no fear of death. I can no longer tolerate cold, snowy, icy winters and have learned to adapt to the hot and humid summers in NC. I have gotten lost wherever I have gone in NC since 2004 even with a GPS. I am a Ham and love an audience to perform in front of. I love my time each day that I spend with the Lord and have a great relationship with him. I cherish my family and friends and I know that each day is a gift to enjoy as if it were my last.I have just started a support group for people with chronic illness: COPES and also sell Happy Dogs pictures: See my blog: Happy Dogs Copes here. I have just become a writer for examiner.com and love writing. Need to expand my audience to make some money.
