I am 50-something. Oftentimes, I actually forget what my age is because I feel younger than I am. That is, until I try to get out of bed in the mornings and my body reminds me! I am happily married and have two daughters, two stepdaughters and two granddaughters none of which live close by. I also have dogs who get a large part of my heart.
I am a huge music lover! I like many genres, everything from Mozart to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Country, not so much, though I did like it back in the 70s. I don't play an instrument and I can't sing worth a damn, but listening is a big part of my daily life. I have a daughter who is a rising star in the music industry and it has been fun to watch that process unfold.
I live in Arizona's Sonoran desert. The summer months can be unbearable with the blistering heat, but the trade-off is beautiful and interesting landscapes and wildlife which I like to document with photography when I am able to. The sunsets here can be amazing, especially after a fierce monsoon storm. The winter months have very comfortable temperatures. The nearby mountains always get snow, but in the valley only once every five years or so.
What complicates my life is chronic pain from fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. I just try to keep a pace where I rest when I need to, but also try to move as much as I can without overdoing it and causing a flare.
Despite all this, I try to maintain a positive attitude and a very good sense of humor. I just try to enjoy my little world! Stay tuned. I have been through a healthy dose of good and bad things in life and I just might share some of it.
