Wild Fact About Me I was diagnosed w/lymphoma and had surgery to have a TEN POUND SPLEEN removed March '07.
My Philosophy Learn to live with change, don't hold on to material things....hold on to memories..good and bad...but put them in their proper place...Look forward.
What Gives Me Hope The kindness of strangers...people have reached out and helped us during a rough time...people I don't even know and all they ask is to pay it forward to someone else someday. I will be glad to get to that point!
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by If I were PRESIDENT....I would not BUSH wack the populace like this turkey has! I would make sure that my people were able to work...NOT giving the jobs to others overseas..so that families can clothe, feed, provide HEALTHCARE and shelter themselves. This has been a rough time for people in this country, especially here in Ohio...it breaks my heart knowing that I and my family are not the only ones suffering under this REGIME!!!!
What/who changed my life and why Drama of the Gifted Child/book, taught me to let go of childish things; Road Less Travelled/Peck taught me to take ownership of myself and look at what love is all about. What events DON'T alter our life route....have had many...some in the right direction...other, while they may have seemed wrong...usually have ended back on a proper course.
