Introduction

Hello, I am a widow after 23 years of marriage.
I was born in Kansas, But have lived most of my life in Missouri. I also lived in Texas for 15 years and now back in Missouri since 1993. I train and rehabilitate horses. I have a horse rescue called Angels Wings Horse Rescue, in northern Missouri. I do my best to find the horses new loving homes once they are rehabilitated.. I love helping horses. Horse back and trail riding and all the outdoors.
I live in the country and I love it. I am very much a animal lover.
I am a artist, poet and a singer, songwriter. I write mostly Christian and country music. I like many other kinds of music. But not much on rap or heavy metal. I would like to learn to dance, I have always wanted to but never was with anyone interested in dancing.... I like Hiking, camping, fishing, boating, horseback riding and going to state parks, traveling and rides in the country ( not really heading anywhere specific, just seeing where we end up and what in nature we see. The Lord always makes each drive special). You can say I am a real country girl. I also like walking hand in hand, lying under the stars, campfires and picnics. I try to never miss watching a sunset! My favorite kind of movies are Science Fiction. But I also like a large variety of different movies from mysteries to romance, action, and westerns. I like some comedies but many I really do not think are funny.

I am a very optimistic person and believe that everything happens for a reason. We just have to learn to handle the tough things that come our way. I am very mechanically inclined and can do many things, from electrical, plumbing, home repair and much more. I love doing landscaping outside and creating beautiful things... I think I am young for my age and feel that the soul is ageless. I like being spontaneous and having fun. I am very devoted when I love someone, and I let them know they are loved. I am a self assured strong woman but I do not like being alone. I am better with a good man by my side.
I don't really like the cold, in fact I really dislike it. I just grin and bare it. I love spring and summer and actually do well in the heat.
I am a spiritual person. I Love God and believe Jesus is my Savior. I go to Church regularly. I am a canterer at my Church. God is a very important part of my life every day. If it were not for God, helping me and giving me strength. I would have been dead a long time ago. He keeps me mentally strong! . "He made me the strong person I am today".


( I was dating a special man for a year, who died from cancer, like my late husband, so I do tend to shy away from people who smoke or have bad drinking habits). It is better to have Loved and lost, then never to have had there love in my life!

Essays

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

Maybe go out for something to eat, or for coffee (though I do not drink much coffee) . Eating makes it more comfortable to talk and get to know each other better.

My past relationships have taught me...

When you go out with some one. If you feel that the connection, compatibility and feelings are not there. It is best not to keep going out with that person. They might get the wrong idea. Start having feelings for you and then have there feelings hurt, when you do not return the affection... Be honest with them. If it's not wright , it's not right. Better to end it early before someone really gets hurt!

To me, being a Catholic means...

Knowing God, and having him in my life. Knowing he and the church will be there for me if needed. Having the foundation and guidance, for being a good person and living my life as a good example to others (especially my children). Being forgiving and not judgmental. That is for God to do.

In five years, I see myself

Things have been really tough in the last several years. I have learned a lot from my trials in life, but that does not make them any easier. Because of this I usually take 1 day at a time, handling each situation as it comes along. It is hard to plan ahead. If I do plans usually will be changed anyway. I am going to finish fixing my house and get my Celica GT fixed. I am also going to payoff all my bills. I am going to get a barn built for the Horse Rescue, but for sure, I want do God's Will for me, to keep helping people in anyway I can and be a good example to my children and other people!

My favorite Bible passage is...

PSALM 23,

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

This PSALM reminds me that God provides all our needs. ( some times in the last seconds, but he always comes through ). He is always with us to help and guide us. He will never abandon us, to let evil take over. He prepares and get's us through the trials in life and shows us the way to heaven. "If we listen"!

It has taught me to be happy with the things I have, for they are enough. Not to desire more and more things, that are only possessions. They will not really make us happy, or a better person.
As long as we have what we need, we can be happy and fulfilled.

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

Take time to stop and smell the roses. Live life to the fullest. Do not overlook the beauty in nature, the color of the green grass against the bright blue sky. The sound of birds singing as a soft breeze gently disturbs the surface on the water. Look for the good in people and be forgiving. Friends are a treasure that should be valued and cherished. Without friends we are alone in life. Treat them with respect.
Find Happiness in the moment. Don't dwell on the little hardships, or big ones for that matter. They can all be handled... Life is so short. Never take the people you love for granted. Show them and tell them you love them every day. They may be gone tomorrow.
A smile is worth a thousand words, a sad strangers soul may be lifted by a smile or a small Hello! There is so much happiness to be found in life, why waist time dwelling on the sorrows. There is so much good too.

"Listen for God" His Will is the way to Salvation! Ann
