About ME!
Yes! I get to talk about myself, but now I am not sure what I should say! I do like Bonnie's poem because it is so all encompassing of a person but, I won't copy that. I shall, then, just go about it all in a more ordinary way, just highlight some of the things that are important to me.
I will divide my life at this point into 4 areas:
- family
- profession
- hobbies
- goals
Family
I have a son and a daughter whose families are the joys of my life! My grandchildren fill me with pride in their accomplishments and make me so thankful that my children, and their spouses, have given so much love, time and energy to my grandchildren!
Professional Life
I have gone to school all of my life and I still love it! Actually, I retired from teaching elementary school for over 28 years in 1992. Since then, I have found my way back into the classroom and presently teach computer classes to kindergarten through grade 8 students in a private school. What a great thing when, later in your life, you can unite the two things that bring excitement and fulfillment to you...for me those are teaching and computers.
Hobbies
So many things that I love to do! Sewing, computer art with Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter, attempting to create web sites, as I have done for my school, are but a few.
I also love listening to books on my iPod when walking, ironing, eating lunch or doing any mindless task. When could I have time to sit and read "Pillars of the Earth" or "Crime and Punishment", "Anna Karenina" and so on. I am grateful to Audible.com! Reading time is reserved for books like "Photoshop: Masking and Compositing". More time would be a blessing!
Goals
My greatest goal is, each day, to learn something new! Or, to deepen the understanding of things I think I know!
Conclusion
The fun of writing this was thinking about the things that bring me happiness and fulfillment so that I can perceive them in an objective and organized way.
