When I started trying to put my thoughts together for this page, I thought, gentle reader, what of you? I thought; what can be said to speak to you? I think of all the tears, laughter, fear, love and all of the emotions that can be shared. I hope that the closeness I feel when reflecting upon my own life, sharing the feelings with you will bring you just that much closer to knowing my thoughts and how life has changed. Life has changed so many times and I am, again, in a different place.

No matter what I think, no matter what I do ~ you will forever be a part of my life. I must tell you, many of you have been loyal friends, some have laughed at my silly ways, some have wept with me in times of deep sorrow, some have taken no note at all and that is all right too. I feel so lucky to have been granted the blessings I have had, even the events in my life that have left me feeling depressed and lost, those I have been able to make learning experiences of, they are not a total loss. Far the opposite in fact, I believe that ANY experience we can learn from is not all lost but a lesson, one we may not understand but nevertheless, an occasion to savor and benefit from.

For the simplicities of life, holding a kitten, watching a child in awe at the sight of a butterfly wafting in the breeze, hearing the birds chirp on a sunny morning and that . . . sunny morning! All of these are miracles and are such powerful statements, such humbling occasions are to be treasured. I am so glad that you care enough to read my random thoughts, I thank you.

Please join me and learn a bit more about me and my life. I do not want to bore you with details so... I will try not to.
