Interests
Seek diligently for something to be glad and thankful about in every happening and soon no search will be required. Give us a sense of humor, Lord, Give us the grace to see a joke, To get some humor out of life, And pass it on to other folk. I believe Laughter really is the best medicine and as a result I really try to keep my sense of humor active!!! HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY, keep on smiling!!! I am a 53 yr old Mother of 4. I have my 4 kids and 9 grandkids! I like to read, play on the computer, and I used to love to go to yard sales. Can't do that anymore as I do not drive and am in a wheelchair. I like watching movies, ( I like comedies...the cornier the better. Laughing is so good for us.) I collect movies, both DVD and VHS. I have a cow collection. They are all over my house. (Not the real, mooing, four legged ones of course.) I used to draw and play the guitar. It has been years since I did either of those activities. Maybe, I'll take it up again...who knows?

Open DailyStrength Members Community
I have been an active DS member since Since Sept 07. It was a great place to come for support and empathy and once in a while some plain old fun. About a year ago, a new person jined and has single handedly changed all of that. I thought I might find some ideas here to help return that board to as it once was.
