Well...May 24th I turned 44 years old. I'm taking a hint from my twin KMAE and decided to talk about the blessings and struggles I've endured. Not a long essay, although I could easily slip into something wordy, but listing the good and the bad and lord knows we cannot forget, the ugly.
Living through parents divorce
THE 70s (wish I was older!)
Going to FRANCE in high school
Going to Washington D.C. in 8th grade
Learning to cook with Mom
Making Breakfast for my dad
Graduation (high school)...finding out my dad was there watching all along
Birth of my daughter
Being shut out by my mother
Meeting and falling in love with a woman, Teri
Experiencing the downfall of love and mental illness
COMING OUT
TO ALL THE GIRLS I"VE LOVED BEFORE....and all the men I didn't
Graduation from COLLEGE
First time I worked with developmentally disabled adults....and made a breakthrough
Coming out of my shell
Living Loving and Learning
Are women really THAT psychotic?
Sending my daughter to foster parents....most devastating, but somehow liberating
Writing my first novel and losing myself
Loving an alcoholic....and leaving
New friends...
Moving to Wyoming
Moving to Cheyenne...new friends and FRESH AIR
Crazy world of Sue
Moving back home with Grandma
TALKING ONLINE WITH CINDY....yummO!
MEETING CINDY!!!!! DELISH!
Is it Cindy or stay with Grandma?
IT'S CINDY!
Experiencing REAL love and foreverness with the girl of my dreams
My dad asking for a hug from my girlfriend!
Brittany showing up on my doorstep
Brittany's GRADUATION
OIL and WATER don't mix, they fester
Grandma June passed
My mother came alive again
Mom hugging my girlfriend
Mom meeting Brittany
Mom giving me money for my birthday and saying "I LOVE YOU"
Being in love for 4 1/2 years and never once questioning what's been given to me......
I've learned lessons and understood it's really true..."that which does not kill us makes us stronger"
I've walked the rocky path, tripped and fallen, thinking the walk just wasn't worth it...but now I can see why I fell.
Life.
Bring it on

Happy BDay Twinnie! It is a miracle we have made it thru the thick & the thin, no?
I loved your list. Everyone should make these lists! You were brave & listed the bad & ugly as well as the good. I only went for the good on mine (with the exception of drugs, altho at the time believe me, I thought they were great!) I will someday make the bad/ugly list, I just don't want to throw myself into depression, which would be easy if I start thinking about all the negatives I invested energy into. shish.
Yes! I felt great about it afterwards! It IS a miracle...we've only just begun! My grandmother says "I'm not ready to go yet, I haven't made enough people miserable yet!" I like that!
Hope you had a GREAT day twinnie!
Love ya!
