<----Isn't this cute?...I look like I have an orange in my mouth
<----don't we look like twins???
This is my daughter, Lauren. She is my firstborn and my only woman child. I am really learning who she is now and who she is not. The first picture was taken in '99, the second was taken in 03 on my first trip on my own! I was ecstatic to share that with Lauren.
<------This is my son Sam and I in '97. He was in the auto accident and really banged up. He is home with me. He is a Sophomore now
and before that.
This is Sam and Dipstick. I wonder why Sam named her that? We call her Dippy now. Course there is a reason for that.---->
This was taken of the kids on vacation.
These are my siblings and I. I love them all so much and each of them have given of themselves to me in their way.
I am learning about myself all the time. I am learning what I can and I cannot do. I gain acceptance through a variety of means.
I want to help people and I feel it is my calling to do so. I work for the disabled community. It is my need to continue to do so. NOW anyway. That may change but I feel I will continue in some way somehow.
Therefore, Who AM I???
I believe: there is a place for me called heaven. I believe there are people who don't need God and heaven to feel all right. I believe God gives us the ability to choose. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE. I believe people need to be responsible for their children and their behavior. I want to control MY behavior. I do not want to present a false front to anyone. It has taken me a very long time to come to this resolve. I have questioned God and my faith for years. It has been a great relief to feel as though I can stand up and say I believe in the Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. I live by Grace and Grace alone. I do not attempt to put rules on faith, not rules on mankind that only God can approve of or not. That is not my job. It is God's. We do not know what lies ahead of us and I would never tell someone they were going to go to hell for something. It just doesn't work that way for me. But it may for someone else. It is not my place to say. I have been searching for strength in God for most of my life. I pray to God that I will do his bidding and I cannot see what he wants me to do. I must "turn it over" to allow God to direct my life.
I believe: In familyI would not and could not go on without it. I do not say this in thanks but in realization that I need their support and I believe I have it.
My work experience includes -- I had it all but I decided that I won't bore you with the details. We all have had lives and busy ones. Mine has been no different.
I no longer live alone with my animals. Sam came home. Gawsh I have a teenager at home!
I am a caretaker by nature, so I adopt pets lol.
I am building new relationships with my family and kids. It is wonderful and building my confidence!
I am not very lonely anymore. It makes it hard to be lonely when you work with the public and have Sam around.
I tire very easily. I get stressed out when I get tired.
