Life has it's ups and downs but it's how you deal with them that makes you the person you are.  Right now I am dealing with an unnamed illness.  I have been ill for over 6 months, had 2 unrelated surgeries for problems that were discovered while trying to figure out the underlying cause of all my pain.Right now I am unable to work and am on disability. I am lucky to have a wonderfully supportive husband.  If not for him I don't know what would be going on with me.  I am not religious but I thank God for giving me the love of  this good man.
On to more fun things. I have taken up couponing to try and save money.  Plus it gives me something to do while I am home since I am unable to work right now.  I am also doing different crafting projects.  I taught myself to knit and a little bit about crocheting.  I like to garden so I am getting ready to start doing some small windowsill herb gardens and terrariums. Those projects I hope to be able to do with recycled items.  I do my spring/summer outdoor garden in recycled cat litter buckets.  It's fun and the best part is NO weeds!
I also like to cook, bake and my favorite thing is to read.  I go to the 2nd hand store and buy books, I have them on my smart phone and also on my tablet pc.  I don't go anywhere without something to read.
