Hello!

I am engaged to a man I met on the Internet going on 12 years ago. I have one daughter and two grandsons. I also live with 3 cats.   I have worked in a factory the past 14 years and am now off work and filed for Social Security. I have a few health problems that hold me back sometimes from doing what I want, but I take one day at a time. My fiance' and I love to go motorcycle riding.  We try to vacation every year in the Smoky Mountains. My interests are of course:

• Motorcycle riding
• bicycle riding
• Photography
• Computers
• Reading (I'm an information idiot)
• Cooking/Baking
• Animals (Love them all!)
• Doing crafts when I have time--sewing, etc.
• Retouching photographs
• Gardening
• Rock concerts

I have many close friends and I love to talk and write email.  But yet, I could be a hermit.  I always could work any shift because I never slept well, but I take a drug now to go to sleep. I love Autumn,  it is the perfect time of year. I would love to travel and see the world before my life is over.  Egypt is one place I would love to see.  I've always had a facination with Egyptians.  I am Wiccan in religion.  I have a strong passion for nature, our Earth.  I love all animals and believe in leaving them be, we have no reason to kill them for useless things.  Food, I understand. But yet sometimes when I am eating meat, I find it repulsive. The best moments in life is when I am holding my grandsons, hearing their laughter and seeing the smiles on their faces. Holding and cuddling with my cats & hearing their purrs, basking in the sunshine, being outside and listening to the sounds of life.

In the past 12 years or so, I have gained 70 pounds due to my health problems.  All the different medications and lack of exercise due to pain.  I have been off work since April and recently went to a pain management class.  It really has helped me.  I finished aquatic therapy yesterday and am going to continue that on my own.  I am planning on getting some strength back and flexibilty so I can go on longer walks and start lifing weights again.  I used to be so fit and healthy--it makes me sad when I look in the mirror at myself and see how much I have declined in my health.  But I am a positive person and will keep going forward doing allI can to help myself.

I hope Ihavn't bored you, and if you have read something that made you smile, I have accomplished something today.  Good luck in all you do.
