It's amazing.. at 55, how much we can still learn about ourselves and others. I have been on a long and sometimes hard journey, but i hope to continue having the freedom to travel. Suppose I will settle down when I finally meet the right person, one who I can trust, respect, appreciate, and truly enjoy being with. Even though I am very much free of debt and despair, I am only now learning to "just believe" I will be ok, and then I pray the same for my kids. I am grateful for what I have, give what I can, and it's ok to want more, because now I believe I will have it. I am going in a direction for success, and hope you would like to come with. I am probably as content with my life as ever. I feel strong and smart, and I am happy and healthy. I believe in the power of attraction, and live by the rules. I am grateful for all the "stuff" I don't have.. like baggage, and furniture, and all of the little bit that I do. I have pride, and have held integrity in the decisions I have made in the past, and I am glad they were the right values to have. I appreciate my up bringing, even though I would not bestow some of those characteristics? on my own children... 4 I have, 3 of which I am very proud to say I have helped raise, and I have a nearly perfect relationship with all of them. Good Luck in your search, and God Bless !!
