My First Post

Ok...I'm trying this thing out...I've done my profile...so where do I begin? I'm in the self discovery phase of my life. I was widowed in 2003. To tell you the truth, married again in September of 2003, and it almost literally cost me my life. I got out alive. So..I'm learing to live again. I have gone through.."multiple loses" and have spent my time saying I want "this back, that back" My daddy back, my Tommy back, my house back, my children back...etc. I finally realized who I missed the most was ME. Now I'm working on getting ME back. I don't think the person that lived in her happy little marriage etc, will ever be back. I'm creating now. My creative juices are flowing as I work on creating My own life...and finding what I really want. When I was really young, I wanted to be a housewife, period. And I still believe that the family went to pieces when we changed from no woman of mine is going to work, to no woman of mine is going to stay at home.
Not very women's lib, huh? Well, I have a traditional side, even though I'm a free spirit now. I am a mixture of things actually. A friend of mine called it "Well rounded." I had a 350 acre farm to explore and play on when I was with my Granny. I was in the city taking ballet when I was with my mother. I was shootin' a 22 when I was with my "real daddy," I was doing the New York tour, going to the Smith...you know that museum in Washington, lol, when I was with my step dad. So...from that little bit you can see that I have had an "interesting life." I could tell you stories that would curl your hair...I've been rich, poor, in between. I was the only child and only grandchild around for 10 years. My best friend as a child was a boy. I'm very in touch with the "ying and yang" in me. Like my profile says....I am very NON prejudice, and in real life, with people you meet, esp. in the south...that's not too popular. I'm (lol) famous in the little country town I was born in. No body knows my name in Raleigh right now. I just moved back to Raleigh, which I ended up calling home. That's enough for now...whew...it's been a long day....and I have phone calls to make...it's my birthday on the 27th. I wanted to go to Stokes Co, which is where I was born, and do some special things, since it's my "golden birthday." But my son isn't coming in until sometime Thursday or Friday...if he shows up..Heck..I should just go to stokes co anyway.
I want to meet new people, so all of you out there in computer land....send me letters, blogs, whatever we do to learn about each other on here. Teresa
