A middle-age woman, wife, mother and friend who swims deeply in the river of denial against the reality I am no longer the young girl I still see in my mind.
I’m a seeker of knowledge, truth and wisdom. I love reading, both good fiction as well as a variety of non-fiction work. I like to sew and long to discipline my chaotic life in such a way as to actually allow myself more time to enjoy this hobby. In recent years I’ve taken up the hobby of crochet and knitting both of which I’ve come to enjoy. I enjoy baking, especially cakes, but oddly I’m not a fan of cooking. And most recently, I’ve taken up piano playing, something I let lie dormant for decades thinking I didn’t have it in me, yet now I quite enjoy it- I guess all things in their time.
I have a passion for things beautiful: deep blue skies of sunshine warmed days; beautiful silky fabrics; gorgeous sunsets; beautiful scents; good music; and pretty much everything that falls under the category of lovely. I value close relationships be it with family or friends. My social circle is not wide but I try to fill my world with those who are true and faithful. I love a good conversation and envision eternal Heaven to be a place where we are surrounded by awesome people of good character with whom we can laugh, love and enjoy adventure on a perfected earth of lasting blue skies, sunshine and the greatest beauties of nature.
