(wrestling, tackling, whatever..) one day at a time. I have been spending a lot of time with my nose in a book lately. I have also been (albeit intermittenly) working dilligently on my writers block... So far it only looks a little like a rectangle, but I guess that's progress. I spend a lot of time in my garden, I find it to be incredibly therapeutic, and being surrounded by flowers isn't so bad. I would have to say, also, that getting my kid through high school intact and still relatively sane is definitely my number one priority right now. That takes up most of my time. My favorite place to be is as close to people and as far into nature as I can possibly go. I love camping, traveling, living life to the fullest, and taking every opportunity that life allows to grow and evolve as a person.

I have just recently picked up a world war II obsession after watching band of brothers. I am also totally hooked on Lost. I always appreciate good writing, but it is imperative at times that we turn our brains off and laugh at ourselves. I should probably read more and watch less television.
“Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light." -Dylan ThomasOk, authors are easier...
