Retired teacher & Mental Health Counselor/Case Manager. Mother of my 3Y's and Sam(cat). Taken with Michael as my ownwer, lol, not!! I live with Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis and they try to control me but it's not going to happen, lol!! I enjoy and live each day to the fullest! I don't take things for granted. Becoming ill made me see things in a totally different light, for that I'm thankful. I try to help others see that life can be awesome if you just fight for what you want and except things within your reach. Don't dream about what you will have in five years and neglect what is here and now!
