Introduction

I updated two pictures. They are both current as of a month ago. I don't have a clue when I download my camera as to where to send the pictures and consequently they post to a folder that is one year old. It's a miracle sometimes when I need to find them and they actually appear.

Essays

What I'd like to do on a first date...

Church would be lovely and perhaps a light breakfast. Later plan a bike ride or walk around the lake. That depends on the weather. Then, take a break and go to a fun coffee shop where one can feel comfortable sitting and chatting. Anything goes after that, we should be at that point we might click or want the date end. It could go either way. Try not to be too enthusiastic and things will work out fine.

My past relationships have taught me...

My love for helping and caring involved time and I felt sure my vocation might have been a religious one. The dating scene didn't seem to be in the cards for me. Sure I dated but never felt like there was a good connection. One enchanted evening across a crowded dance floor our eyes met and for me that was it. There were rough spots in the relationship as distance was a problem. At that time he was working on his Ph.D in the Midwest and I was living and working in New York. When it's in the cards it happens. We married in Milwaukee, moved to South America for three years and our first two children were born there. Like most marriages we did have our ups and downs but managed to build strength and support in such challenges. We were blessed and I would have to say my dating and marriage experiences were as good as they get. It takes two to Tango!

To me, being a Catholic means...

Can only explain it this way. It is the beginning and end of all that I am and all that I hope to be. It is every breath that I take and every smile I smile; it's the sunshine of my life and hopefully the guy will feel it too. Then, I won't have to try and explain it. I do thank God every single day for His gift of faith to me. It is the only gift I want or care for and I pray I am deserving of it and hold on to it. In a nut shell, totally precious! to me.

In five years, I see myself

Still serving Christ in some capacity or other. I perhaps would also like to include a little bit of time for myself. Would certainly love to be in love again but.... ah well, who knows? That too is in God's hands, He provides very well for me. So five years from now I hope I can look back and say, "because of me somebody is happier today"

My favorite Bible passage is...

Good grief, I"m sure I love all of them but can't remember any specific one at the moment. I honestly do need to bone down and take my bible reading and remembering more seriously. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" The wording may not be correct, but what the heck, close enough to understand.

One final thing I'd like to mention...

I hadn't planned on writing my life story, interesting though it might be. Would like to impress the fact that I am conservative in my faith and morals. I feel I am the perfect blend of what God wants of me. I do go out of my way to make those who are less fortunate than I feel some comfort and, I never take anything for granted. Having said all this, I am still trying to figure out who and what I am and I always revert back to remembering my childhood in Ireland and wanting to be constantly taking care of somebody in need. I have never lost that touch and it makes me the unique person God wants me to be. Enough for now!!
