    • About Me

      My name is Lisa, I am 45 years old. I have a problem with and being treated for depression. I have a younger brother who is 43 and he has lung cancer. He has been given 3 to 6 months to live my the doctors. As far as I am concerned, God gives life and determines death. At first I let this thing crush me and it shakened my faith, but I am getting my faith back and I will not question Gods will. I am looking forward to the new year, no matter what it holds for me. I want to have a good attitude about every thing. I am realizing that my attitude will determine how I handle any given situtation and also in most cases it will determine the out come. I love to smile, laugh and just be happy. I am self employed and my business takes me all across the country. often for very long periods of time. I love what I do and I love to meet new people.

      I would like to learn how to fish. I have 2 new fishing rods and no idea what to do with them. I like to bowl and I pretty good at it. I read a lot, only insperational and self help books. NO NOVELS, NO LOVE STORIES, NO DRAMA!!! I think they are a waste of time. I would say that I am a busy person, but I have some trouble staying focused! I like to laugh and make people laugh. last but not least I am a terrilbe speller, so if you find any misspelled word "SORRY".

    • Little Love

      From TriviaQueen November 16

      I'm am so very happy to hear you are back on your feet and fighting once more. Our relatives can be so casually cruel and not have any idea how their words go right to our hearts. They can take our love for granted because we are blood kin. Well, up to a point that is true. I love all my relatives, but there are some I sure don't like and will not be around. ;)

      Even if that bitter old person didn't appreciate your act of selfless charity in bringing donuts to him, Jesus appreciated it. And He is the one who's opinion really does matter.

    • Hug

      From TriviaQueen November 15

      I hope the pain your thoughtless and ungrateful relative inflicted has subsided. Some people are simply not happy unless they are belittling someone. It's as if making you feel small, makes them feel powerful. It is their shame, not yours! You did a wonderful and compassionate thing by getting those donuts. Shame on that person for being so mean and ugly about it.
