    • About Me

      I am a 43 y/o wife and mother a 5 y/o beautiful little girl. Step-mom to a 27 and 30 y/o daughters and a Nana to 6. Not any one thing defines me. I suffer from Chronic Myofacial Pain, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and depression. I work FT(I'm a supervisor, STRESS!). Just trying to take it 1 day at a time enjoy every day. Sounds easier then it is but that's just the hand I was dealt. I am hoping 2 find friends & support as well as be a friend & give support.
