I am

Blessed - with a kind and loving husband.
Blessed - with four wonderful sons I am proud to call mine.
Blessed - with four joyful grandchildren and a 5th due in late May.
Blessed - to be an American Woman with unlimited opportunities.
Blessed - to be free.
Blessed - to be alive and well.
Blessed - to have freedom of speech, and the ability to publish my thoughts instantly on this amazing technology known as the Internet.
Blessed - to be able to do what I love everyday.

I am 58 years old. I prefer to say "old" because that means I've lived a long time. I've learned and laughed and loved, and been loved.

I've cried and thrown things; watched loved ones die and a grandchild enter this world.

I've been broke and I've been wealthy - and neither gave me the joy the promise of tomorrow's possibilities offers.
