I am, who I am. I am as complex or as simple as I choose to be. I am as animated or as laid back. I can tell a joke, sing in the key of Rebecca, or spin a tale that will touch the listener or reader in some way. I am still as real as i can be. I don't believe in playing games with people so I don't. Accept me as I am, or don't...but it will be me and not a pretense. I am A part time single parent (husband is an OTR truck driver) of a teenage son. Caretaker of our home and a menagerie of pets. I work hard and dream big. One day I will make those dreams come true. I love where I live. On a dead end dirt road in a rural area of North Carolina. Tucked away here time is slower, quieter and much more private. Our nearest human neighbors are family. The other neighbors are the variety of critters that wander up out of the woods. Usually the worst they do is turn over the trash. Currently we have several coyote that have moved into the area. I hope to peacefully find a way to discourage them becoming comfortable. I believe can handle that. Because of being so spoiled by my life here I doubt I could ever live in a city. I enjoy life. Even the difficult parts. Its the difficult parts that make us stronger and make us appreciate the easy days.It is the fires of life that burn away the chafe, the winds that teach us how to sail, the storms that we pass through to find the rainbow.... I love to take walks .. I walk over and contemplate riding my bicycle about once every six months or so. I also love to walk through the woods and scare Bambi so that my hunter brother doesn't have as much luck. I love health food....especially chocolate. It makes me happy and being happy is good for my health. I love to write and have a semi-regular column in a local paper. That could be why people I know are very cautious when I walk up. Even though I've told them I don't use everything I see or hear... and even what I do use I don't use real names. Just ask my brother Mi...uh Rambo.. yeah Rambo.. I love spending time with my son, even though as he grows up that time is getting less and less. I dread when the day arrives that he heads out for his own life, it will then be much too quiet here and I'll have to feed the dogs and take out the trash myself. I have once again begun to enjoy photography. My camera goes with me everywhere. I tend to stick mostly to landscape shots as they get me in less trouble. But I have been known to hand my camera to my son and instruct him to "take my photo with this over here..." I don't watch a lot of television, but when I do I love a good movie. A good movie to me is one that isn't full of blood, guts, and foul language. Which means I don't watch many movies either. I have a love love relationship with my computer. I love to spend lots of time online..and it loves to freeze, crash and lose data at every opportunity. One of the worst things about me.. I notice mistakes in other people's writing. Mispelled words, the incorrect usage of to-too and two or their and there..I try my best to ignore it as most people do not like being corrected..I'm a silent (most of the time) sufferer. I am who I am...and I'm comfortable with that.I am- above all else, a Christian. I have a close relationship with my Lord. For me it isn't religion, it is a walk in faith. A walk in trust. It is knowing a Savior that is with me in all things, strengthening me, teaching me, loving me. It is by the grace of my Lord, that along with everything else.. I am a cancer survivor. For that, along with His many other blessings, I am truly thankful. For the many friends that I have made here, for the encouragement and love they show, for the many gifts that are just outside my door. I am thankful. ..
