I was dragged kicking and screaming into this abyss but, as it turns out, I'm enjoying my stay...
I love anything to do with the ocean... Cats draped all over the furniture... Watching cartoons in my jammies... Fridge magnets (mine are a microcosm of my entire life)... Good Irish whiskey... And people who can't sing a note, but do it anyway, good and loud. Joyful... Beautiful.
I'm told I have a tendency to swear like a sailor (apparently I have invented my own cusswords ~"Sentence Enhancers"~ ask my kids about that!), but please don't let that throw you; I actually do have a soft heart. Seriously.
(And, incidentally, it's not true what they said in The Breakfast Club... When you grow up, your heart doesn't die... Not if you don't let it...)
My relationship with God is complicated... and personal. Recently, I have learned that the best (and only) way to serve him is with your eyes, arms, heart and mind open, and your mouth shut. Think about it. :)
My husband is my best friend and lends new meaning to the term "good sport", and my three beautiful daughters are the smartest, most centered, funniest, nicest, hippest people in the Universe. ♥

"... A belief based on thoughts such as, 'Religion has caused more death and destruction than any other idea', reveals itself as a more wholly beautiful and beneficial belief when stated as, 'Hate has caused more death and destruction than any other idea'... Hatred of religion is still hatred... Love is love" - Andrew W.K.

"There is a form of laughter that springs from the heart, heard every day in the voice of childhood, the expression of a laughter-loving spirit that defies analysis by the philosopher, which has nothing rigid or mechanical in it, and totally without social significance. Bubbling spontaneously from the heart of child or man. Without egotism and full of feeling, laughter is the music of life." - Sir William Osler (thanks for all the smiles, Chris ♥)
