Who am I? An abundantly blessed person that needs to double check her spelling.

Who am I?

I am a daughter, a sister, a mom, an aunt, a teacher, a student, a dreamer, a procrastinator, and still a girl that loves sewing, nurturing, reading & writing, and the music of the 80's.

As I write this, I am listening to OMD, Tears for Fears, A-Ha, The Eurythmics, Duran Duran, The Bangles, and Howard Jones. My teenage children groan and grumble that the music is too "bouncy" for them. I remind them that in comparison to their rap music, it is clean, without profanity, which they hate to hear coming out of my mouth. Yes, they view me as someone that is rough around the edges but they do know that I love them deeply, and that I could have worse habits.

I guess my proclivity for tunes of the Eighties allows me to briefly relive my youth, early independence and freedom. It was the time of all weekend partying, spur of the moment trips, carefree living, and falling in and out of love. I graduated from high school at the beginning and married at the end of that decade. Given a chance to go back in time, I would do things differently, but would never opt out of those times. Even if offered money, I would not trade that decade for any other.
