I was born and raised in Missouri; lived in several states, until coming to Texas May of 1976. My past reads like a "drug store novel", with one chapter after another, of verbal and emotional abuse which left me battling with my pride and identity. Through my pain and suffering I managed to survive, discovering along the way that Jesus Christ was there walking beside me all along, and I just never opened my eyes to see His magnificent presence and unconditional love. The Bible, His Word is the foundation for my beliefs and the guide for all that I want to be in Him, my savior. So imperfect, with much to "fix" within myself, I have found that I am not where I want to be in Christ, but I praise the Lord daily that I am not where I used to be. The Bible is the foundation for my faith and beliefs; it is far from being "liberal", so that speaks of my political views. I believe I am an example of my favorite saying, "Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself!" I give God, Jesus Christ all the glory for the strength and courage to be a "survivor" and all that I am today!
My children are grown with lives of their own; same is true of my grandchildren, so I have a lot of time to work on "fixing" myself and finding out what is right and good for me. Most of my life has been as a caregiver to someone else, so forgive me that this is "my" time to care for myself. Retired, with some health issues, I have limitations but love Nature; seas, skies, plants, trees, flowers, birds, animals and people. Even the ones who are difficult to love sometimes. Easily entertained, I stay busy with my crafts, doll houses, plants, sewing, research, learning, writing, or just spending time sitting outside in the warm sunshine watching the birds and "critters." Learning is very important to me. My profile pictures and quotes speak for me as to my interests, beliefs and desires. I have been single for many years; maybe too many, and looking for something that doesn't exist, except in my mind and heart. I haven't lost hope, and still look out the window, watching for that John Wayne" type; a gentle, romantic man, with a strong character and mind of his own, who would come grab me, lift me onto his horse and the two of us will ride off into the sunset...ah to live and love happily ever after!
ONCE A DREAMER...ALWAYS A DREAMER..."I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4"
