About Me

The Secret
My life has been going through some pretty major changes lately...sometimes they are kind of rough getting used to...but, I am a true believer that 'everything happens for a reason'...so, I guess that there is something better that is waiting for me to become more ready for it...whatever that may be...it will happen when the time is right. I trust that things are happening just as they should...even if I can't make heads nor tails of it all sometimes...lol. One day soon I'll have one of those 'aaahhaaa' moments and maybe I'll understand some of it better. My oldest grandson came to stay with me this past January and I we are both working on adjusting to the newness of it...it's been a long time since I've been a 'mom' to a young child...but, he's bringing the kid back out in me again which is a good thing. :-) I had forgotten just how much fun it can be at times having a child around...and just how much work it can be sometimes...lol. I've been having some medical problems and the doctors have found out that I have an Interstitial lung disease (pulmonary fibrosis)that's caused by a connective tissue disease. I also have mild Pulmonary Hypertension because of the Fibrosis. These diseases are always bad news, but I had an open lung biopsy done in August '08 and the doctors think that they can stop it from getting worse by treating the connective tissue disease which is causing the scarring in my lungs, so that's what we're working on right now and I have a lot of hope that things will turn out good. Send a few prayers my way if you are a praying kind of person...I can use all the help I can get with this! I think that I've grown and have learned a lot over the last few years and am basically pretty happy with myself and my life right now. I consider myself to be a very spiritual person...not a religious one. I am the mother of two wonderful sons...I'm very proud of both of them...they are both very smart and brave in my opinion and not afraid of going at life head on to whatever challenges they may come up against. They just live to danged far away from me...one in N. KY which isn't too bad, but the other one lives in Florida and I don't get to see either of them nearly as much as I would like to. They are both married and have given me 4 beautiful grandkids...two grandkids from each son. I consider myself a very lucky woman to have all of the blessings and the people I love in my life. I am a member of Al-anon and have found so much more serenity with learning how to work this wonderful program into my life....I had never really realized what a caretaker I had always been to EVERYONE in my life...and now I'm learning to just let them be who they are and to learn from their own mistakes...whew...what a relief to not have to try to save the world anymore...that was getting to be a pretty tough job!! ;-) I love to go out...especially in the Fall...to take pictures and I have some of them in my pics if anyone would like to check them out. Life can be a real challenge sometimes, but, it's still getting better and better all the time..lol.
