About Me

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who am I...I am just me..a girl that grew up in a small town in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. A girl that started dying inside years ago and have realized how much I really have missed in life. I strive to laugh and see all the good that this world has to offer, but it's hard, especially when there are constant reminders, reminders that too many of humankind are selfish and petty. Too many strive to see others fail so that they may succeed. Too many that live their lives thinking they know, when they really don't have a clue. Yet I keep trying to banish the dark memories to a place where only I can reference them as needed, I keep trying to see the good in all and love them, or at least pity them, for that is sometimes the only way that one can truly see the truth and your own final desitnation. I am trying to forgive, yes trying. I have not mastered the art of forgiveness, I have come close, but then either you forgive or you don't. I keep trying to trust, to trust my own instincts, to trust in what others say, to trust that there really is something to learn that will show me the true meaning of life. It's those that have the least to say that speak the loudest, those that speak the most really have nothing to say.
My genealogy has been an obession at times. But then research in general is an obsession. If you give me a subject, I will spend hours on end finding the answer, or at least the information and leads to the answer. I am proud of my heritage, Irish (The Mulkerrins/Mulkerns of Galway, Ireland and the Egans of Tuam, Ireland), French (The Chaputs ranging from France to New Orleans to St Louis and Laforce from Canada), and English (The Dennisons who arrived in Mystic, Ct) although interestingly so I have an extremely strong draw to my Irish heritage. I was once asked, by a friend who was born in Ireland, and lives there still, why I always seemed to be so obsessed with the Irish side, what about your French side he asked....I honestly could not answer. Not sure it mattered really, but it offended me that apparently it actually offended him. I have researched all sides of my family history, blood is not all that binds us, but I believe that part of the reason we are who we are is from years of personalities eventually filtering down to us from ages we can only begin to imagine.
I love the ocean, the mountains, the forests, nature...I love to explore unknown places, riding along roads all but forgotten, wondering where a certain path in the woods may lead, or how many days it took to build that old stone wall that is now covered with overgrowth. Reading is a passion as well as book collecting. There is something magical about the bound pages of type, the words that present someone else's world or at least their idea of another world.I have been known to play a video game or two, but they must be mystical and magical or have some puzzle that needs to be solved. Music is a large part of what moves my soul, Happy, sad, angry, silly, the true enchantment in the notes so miraculously composed. My children bring me more joy than I could have ever imagined. I am engaged, :) some might say permanently, but none the less we have a committment to each other deeper then most people that are married. He has been my light at the end of the dark tunnel. He has brought me knowledge and peace when at times there seemed to be no hope.
I truly thank each and every one of you that enters this small virtual world of mine, and shares yours with me. What you present to me and to others is of utmost importance. All the well wishes, the truths, the sharing and the beacons of light that you all bring, make my days more interesting and brighter. You stimulate my mind and touch my heart. You bring me reality and fantasy and give me hope. And for those of you that do not care to enter my world, that do not care to ask about who I am, but instead judge me for who you think I might be.....In the words of a great New England poet Robert Frost.....
"I hold it to be the inalienable right of anybody to go to hell in his own way."
"Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow." ~Alice M. Swaim

I swear, it’s true~

How to drive like you're from New Hampshire: 1. You assume that anyone with a convertible and/or RWD car has a second car to drive in the winter. 2. You're impressed by anyone who can parallel park on...
