is feeling OK
Trying to stay calm, always.
About Me
I'm 49, single, and have lived and worked in Chicago for just over 25 years. I've been a classical singer (mostly sacred choral and solo music) since 1984, and in January I completed a paralegal certification program here in town. Been looking for a job since February, and am still free-lancing. (Why does it feel as if I'm writing an essay for match.com?)
Interests
Here are some things I love: my five gorgeous nieces, knitting, painting with watercolors, current events (NPR / NYT online junkie), my friends, politics, dogs (wish I could have one), Lake Michigan, music music music, solitude, writing, cooking, and pretending to clean my house. OK, the HazMat guys haven't shown up to the apartment yet, so things really aren't that bad.

I'm trying to change my current goal, and can't figure out how to do that
My current goal is to lose 2 pounds this week, and that might be a little ambitious. As small as that amount is, it may be better to push it …

Hug
It is true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it. But it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Friendship... Hugs Nancy
Hug
They say it takes a minute to find a special person. And hour to appreciate them, a day to love them. But then an entire life time to forget them. Special hugs today. Nancy
Hug
There is no such thing as a bad hug, only good ones and great ones. May your Sunday be filled with happiness. Hugs Nancy

Friends are like four leaf clovers. Hard to find, lucky to have. Sending lots of hugs on this Holiday weekend. Hugs Nancy
