I grew up in a very strict religious home and had to discover true living - within the context of my beliefs - the hard way. I love life. I believe in focusing on the positives because the negatives will ALWAYS be around. I think life is to enjoy, the world is to explore and God is to know. My kids are GREAT - ages 20 (son), 18 (son), 13 (son), and 13 (daughter). My husband is a very good man, but he and I see the world so differently we always have to get used to each other again and again. We've been married 23 years and have never been bored. I get very annoyed at people who want to make matters of "right" and "wrong" an option of personal choice. I think parrots are the most fascinating creatures on earth (next to humans of course) and I think dogs have too much of an infatuation with food!!! I am still looking for the pet dog who will prefer me to steak and cheese. If I had more money I'd travel and take my kids with me. I am an absolutely wonderful person and humble to boot.
