I guess I am one of the senior citizens here (50). Gosh, it is still hard to think like a 50 y/o. We are supposed to think differently, right???
I am married to a wonderful little guy (treats me like royalty, so I will allow him to share the kingdom ) He has 3 grown kids and I have 2 grown daughters that have recently married and moved to opposite coasts! "and here I am, stuck in the middle with........" hehe) I just realized today that my family has all moved and it is just me, Gramps, and an aunt. Maybe I will just move too! Oh, I live in NE Arkansas. Gramps lives with DH and me and we all share the place with Gracie the chocolate poodle.
As far as interests go, I am working toward Simple Living, which is not simple, but worth persuing. I am a calligrapher, interior designer. I don't work at either now since I take care of Gramps. I also love music (playing and singing) I did play the piano, but haven't in quite a while. I have a folk harp that is quite challenging for now. I love to grow things. This is something that DH and I really share and we have a blast working in the garden.
We are all die hard Cardinal fans and I am hoping that they win the pennant so that Gramps will get to see it in his lifetime. He is 94 and this is the first year that he has actually seen them on TV!
I am not active in any religious group, but really am interested in Buddhist principles and how they can apply to Christianity. Buddhism seems to take up where Christianity has let the ball drop, IMO. The Bible tells what, but Buddha tells how. But, I am working on keeping an open mind for now.
I like to read Thich Nhat Hanh, Thomas Merton, Lama Surya Das, and Pearl S. Buck (lol) Pearl just speaks to my"earthy" side. I have gotten many reading recommendations from this forum that I plan to check out.
I also love harp and flute, Celtic music. I am in love with Josh Groban. Of course, I am really into 70's music. (yeah, I know I really should move on....)
enough...........Sherry
