Good evening Jalysa,

I am very busy but my first priority is my children. We have a beautiful pond in which we often fish, have lunch, or we lay by the pond while we gaze at the ducks. We have a large piece of property where we utilize the space, I for one do not take it for granted! I often catch myself looking at the pond while I have a cup of tea. Perhaps I can upload a pic., I have had classmates ask me to send them pic.'s for a relaxation technique. Today we went to place where the kids love to play and treated them to their favorite meal. Time for me, interesting...I usually work out and enjoy time reading & listening to music.

This may come as a surprize but I lived with my aunt and grandmother also. My relationship with my husband is wonderful..however, (in my viewpoint) a relationship takes work, understanding, and one needs to be healthy and in a positive place within themselves in order to attract another healthy person. Believe me I went through a lot before I got to where I am today. I am truly blessed, and I do not take anything for granted.

You are on the right path, taking classes is something that is yours and very gradifying! I love Soc., as a matter of fact it is part of the spectrum where psy. is more individual where Soc. is a larger group. However, you will learn about the theories of Freud, Erickson, Maslow, etc. I went a little crazy taking classes that I did not have to b/c I believe in being well rounded...I took Journalism as well, among others.

I appreciate your concern in regards to me taking time out for me! I realize that I need time for myself and believe it or not the kid's go to bed at a certain time (this took a lot to accomplish!) My husband and I watch cable or just talk and then I am guilty of doing more homework when he goes to bed. School is very imp. to me b/c I have worked very hard to achieve my goals..no matter what I still plugged away at school.

It has been my pleasue posting to u!

Hello!

I have not logged on in a LLLOOOONNNGGG time (actually the lst. time we emailed each other!) However, I have thought of u often (honestly!) Things r crazy as ever, busy w/ the kid's and school!  I have gone through a rough time w/ my Mom gone...it does not get easier in my viewpoint.  I assume, part of the reason is b/c there r so many things that I wish I could share w/ her and my heart aches. In addition, I had a few issues w/ an old buis. partner which was a disaster!  It took me over 6 months to fix it and a lot of monies...but it's done!

Enough of me how are U??? R U in school? How are u feeling? Please feel free to keep in touch...! I am extremely happy that u contacted me and I so sorry that have lost touch! Happy Easter:-)

Wuv,

Sammie
