About Me
I am a Divorced Lady with two handsome and sweet sons. I've worked most of my adult life caring for others, as a Nurse. When I was young I was very athletic and healthy. I lost two babies in my twenty's. I experienced alot of very mentally painful abuse and physical abuse in the past. I should of died years ago from some of these experiences. This is what brought me here to DS. I could write a book about my life and all the hundreds of awful and good experiences. I've had life experiences few women have been through. Maybe I will share some of these things in my journals or Posts. Shell48

Thank you for your lovely hug....I am feeling quite a bit better today ...but apart from two hours at work all I've done is read the paper, ate cake(!), watched a bit of tv and exercised on wii fit....perhaps its true what they say about the endorphins released by exercise? My knee is killing me of course! Going to see about putting some stuff back in the furniture we moved now....If only every day could be so easy....Love M xx
