raveling and some more adventures, getting a cute little house with room for a garden, had a bout of something that left me on steroids in 2011 (just a month), was a nanny form 2010-2011, love working with people, writing in journals, taking photos (kids call me momma-ratzzi), the peace and quiet of mid to early morning hours, candles burning, etheral music playing, coffee brewing or orange spice tea, on t.v. it's Food Channel, HGTV, PBS, Discovery, History, romantic comedies, Hallmark Hall of Fame movie addict, love Camelot movies and theories such as "Right is might"...yes, I'm a romantic that believes in justice for all, turning the big 60 this year and still amazed at how little I know (yes, very cliche), love nature, silence (but can hold my own in a conversation), the reverence of soulwork (i.e. C.S. Lewis' "We are souls having a human experience..."), miracles, simplicity, traditions, flowers, computer art programs, planning family gatherings, chocolate...like who I am now but still working on it everyday.
So that's basically my story and I'm sticking with it!
BIG hug, Roe
Hope all's well in your worlds. Write when and if you have time.
P.S. Life is too short so live, love, laugh!!!!
