My Life as a Woman

I have lived a magnificent 50 years...a full half century. I have seen Elvis (young & old), the Beatles together, the Beatles apart. I have experienced the death of a brother - very dear but very distant - laid him to rest in a little square box. I have born three children and miscarried one. I have married, divorced and remarried. I have been resident in a transition house, worked briefly in one then sat on its board in the position of president. (You've come a long way, baby.) I do not suffer intolerance or the deliberate demeaning of another human being. I love movies and cross stitch. I am addicted to Facebook. I have wonderful friends and hurtful enemies. I have survived two house fires (in the same house). I am in love with Bruce who is my true soul mate and completes my world. I am happy, I am sad, I am even tempered, I am foul tempered, I am easy going, I am a perfectionist. I am wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend. I am ...... a woman.
