Life has been a bit rough around the edges lately, so haven't been here to meander through the thoughts of my debilitated mind!

The monitor is on the blink, on and off the blink that is.....and my older puter, with the update on it ( Windows XP ) can't get online! Had gotten some viruses, so now is a pain...


My health too has been a problem....and so it goes.
I suppose because I'm "under the weather" is why I'm so short tempered lately....little things can really get under my saddle blanket!

I hope the next few days I can recover a little and snap back to my usual "merry little self"....
So....WHAT drives YOU????

A former supervisor asked me that onetime...and it's been 18 years of soul searching to answer it.....
Food defintely comes to mind!

I think finding "my place in the sun" is another, finding that spot that is just mine. Knowing who I am, where I came from, and what it all means..............

Love is huge driving force, and for a long, long time the need to be loved drove me for sure...the seeking of approval, affection, and being loved no matter what.

Isn't it true that that's what we all want? to be loved unconditionally???

My life has taken a huge turn since January, when I opened the door to let my daughter back in.
Healing the rift was and is a slow, careful process. She's sober now, and working at putting her life back together.

Febuary saw Coco, my Yorky/Poodle puppy fill my life to overflowing with love and happiness...and then...
Sometime this late spring, early summer, I heard that my middle grandson had been attacked, assulted by two teens.

My heart aches for my daughter and for the boy.

Since that information I've had worse health, and the doctor thinks that I"ve had a small stroke. So now I need to put my life in order, for one never knows how much longer they'll be on earth....
I'm soaking up all the hugs I can get, from my son, neighbors, my pets, and looking forward to the day when my daughter and I might be able to get together, for she's now in a nursing home and having a very rough time of it......
So hug your kids, your pets, and make the best of each day, what else is there??
