Hope In Things I Cannot See

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I seek peace and understanding...of my self, my life, others throughout my life and God. I've just begun truly living life day to day since the near beginning of May and I like it that way...Sometimes it does take losing everything to realize it is time to change.
I love nature and bike rides; sunrise and sunset; fresh cut grass and the smell of rain; music of many sorts and the people who introduce me to it. I love to learn and love to be healthy; to workout and to rest; to read and to sing; to travel and to make new friends; coffee and tea; to talk and to listen; to be able to say what you need to hear and to listen when you just need to be heard.
"Is that a kind of occupational hazard of soul mates ? One's not much without the other? " ~Chris, "What Dreams May Come"

My Interests

kicking and screaming

I'm still here, partially alive. Productivity up, trying with all my might to ignore the pessimism. The devil is tricky like that. Jesus rules. Busy. Bye.
