I'm Grateful For


I'm grateful for life, friends, family, job, health, laughter, money, education, books, movies, animals, USA, Africa, sports, confidante, music, art, writing, clowns, and so much more. I'm grateful that I had the experience of this year. I good year it was nothing exciting and nothing awful isn't that cool.
I'm very thankful for my son, Kirk. He's such a loving young man and I'm so grateful for that. I'm grateful for his daughter, Kaylan. I still miss her very much. I think about her a lot wondering how are things going for her in her first year in high school. She'll be fourteen this year that really amaze me. I hope she loves school and that she continues to do well in school she's such a smart girl.
I'm grateful for my job. I got a new job this year. It wasn't easy working at Vista Meadows. Teenagers are such a challenge and I didn't have the skills to work with them. I'm grateful for the new job it's a challenge too. I work in at ACE Academy in Highland Park in their after school program. I'm respondsable for the program making sure things are running well with the program. This is a very big challenge for me as I never imgained working in an office and there I seat everyday working on the attendance. Sometimes I feel like calling up my superviser and saying I quit I can't do this. I decided to continue to work at the challenge and learn what I can from the experience. I have to say I don't miss working with the students.
I'm grateful for Fawn this year. What a wonderful new, old friend. She has been such a gift to me this year. I've never imgained when we knew each other thirty years ago that she would be editing my book. I do remember her as a teenager reading books a lot just like I did. I liked her as a teenager because she liked to read I use to think that she was such an intelligent girl and imgained her being a professor when we were kids. Reading her work that she has done for me is just a talented woman. I was really blessed seeing her and all the wonderful work she has done on the book. The woman is awesome.
I'm grateful for still working with Donna Marie. Having her in my life has been such a gift. I've gained so much from working with her the last few years. She has encouraged me, supported me and listened to me. She has helped me changed and grow. This is just amazing at so much I have done since I've worked with her. I don't even recognized the woman that I've become since I've worked with her. I love it when she laughs with me.
I'm grateful for Laura and her sharing her talents with me over the years. I just think she's so gifted and has such amazing artistic skills. I do appreciate her so willing to help me with my photo albums. I just love looking at them and working on them it is lots of fun. I appreciate how she calls me and ask me to come over and just sit with her and talk. She dreams for me too which is so cool she wants me to reach all my dreams. She's a cool friend indeed.
I'm grateful for many friends Johanne, Diana, Cathy, Jennifer. It's been so cool spending time with them. I like going over to Canada and spending time with Diana and Cathy. They are such talented women when it comes to quilting. I had a wonderful time with Johanne too this where I took the pic on our little vacation. I am thankful for Jennifer and I miss spending time with her.
I'm grateful for my health and home. I forget to be grateful for how this year was good for me with my health. There were a couple of times when I wasn't feeling to good but over all I'm doing well which is a wonderful thing. I am thankful that I'm able to live here with my sister. I get so worked over what it isn't that I forget to be thankful for what it is. My sister is a very sweet woman and I'm glad that we do get along.
As you can see that I just like the sky and the sea there's so much to be thankful for. What a wonderrful time to think about all those things I am thankful for. The skies the limit. smile

SELL OUT


"I'm coming out I want the world to know got to let it show."

I couldn't believe it the show was a sell out. Ever seat in the thearte was filled people had to sit on the stairs to watch the show. A dream come true. What an amazing event. Last night I did the show the Bag Lady again it's been over a year ago since I did it last. I was so amazed that so many people were there more than I could have imgained. I was expecting 80 people to come the thearte holds 130 people there were people sitting on the stairs. A true gift.

I added one new scene with a little girl dancing with another one of the other dancer it summed up the whole show. Actually the little girl stole the show. I found it to be so much more enriching to have her in the show. This was so awesome being able to create something in my mind then seeing it come full force was a wonderful treat. A beautiful gift indeed.
I am so grateful that I was able to do the show again. I think what was so great about the whole experience was being able to greet everyone that was in the audience after the show. My heart was lifted with so many warm words of appreciation. Many said that they were blessed by the show I was blessed by everyones presents. Thank you everyone of you, thank you so much.
