About Me
ART! CATS! MUSIC! GARDENING! DX'd BP about 2 years ago, after initial DX of Disthymic Depressive Disorder 7 years ago. Inherited it from Mom's side of family, and have experienced all the lovely effects all my life. Depression, too. I love to write, paint, express on canvas.... Love the mountains, the beach...sunny meadows....cloud watching...star & moon gazing....smelling the pine trees on a bike trail-I miss my Bianchi Mt. bike. Was just at bike shop and fell in love with the most GORGEOUS Bianchi Road bike! OMG! The color is like....pearlescent seafoam green!!!Totally BREATHTAKING. If I'd had the money, she would have gone home with me that day! I couldn't quit staring at it in the shop!
Interests
I love to laugh! I enjoy reading, poetry, technical writing, gardening, bicycling, camping, hiking, traveling, learning new life lessons. I sometimes forget to relax and breathe! Patience is a lesson difficult for me....I tend to overreact...
