Looking through the lens

It has been many years since I actually looked back at high school.
My father provided numerous opportunities for me.  Now, I have to grab onto
the visions he left when he died.  I spent years as a single mother wishing for the opportunity
to attend college.  I am now living that dream.  Recovery from painful events in your life
can be done.  I hope to someday publish a book about moving forward past the pain.
If anything can be learned from my life, I have learned that anything is possible through hard work.  I made mistakes by having a child way to young.  I learned through the years of raising him
that I was capable and lovable.  I now belong to Al anon and attend when I have the opportunity.
It is time now that I grab the world on my own terms.  I am only human and I wish to give hope to others who have been married to alcoholics or abusive people.  That you can survive and enjoy life again.  I spend most of my days reading, writing, and doing art.  I love my camera.
Telling stories is fun for me.  I try to find the funny things.... Like Erma Bombeck...
I fell into a bowl of cherrys............and turned into a dozen roses.
