I'd like to meet:

Down to earth types...people whose friendship isn't dependent on how often you can get together, people that are inventive...those that, like me, adapt and find a way to keep it together when it gets hard for a little while...if you are a person that only sees things according to your own wants and needs...the type that stops-gives up-quits when you can just start to see the light at the end of the tunnel...we wouldn't get along very well for very long because I am a 'constant'...

I'd like to meet people who are patient and kind, not self-centered...you have to be able to 'see the big picture' to truly be able to appreciate what I mean and what I view as important in this world.

I'm in my LAST semester of nursing school, the schedule has me swamped lately...unless you're in it, you likely can't understand it...at least, that's what I am seeing from the inside out.

Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind. Ramana Maharshi

Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood. --Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason, and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, accept it and live up to it. –Buddha

Man rejects, ridicules, and retaliates but God embraces, accepts, and forgives. -Duane Alan Hahn

My Sons...for all they have endured, for being patient with me throughout my long road to RN, for loving me without fail, but mostly...just for being who they are.
