about me

I wasn't heavy all my life.

But you couldn't call me "skinny" either.

In the Army I was never on profile for being heavy.

Had to get the "tape-test" once, but that was muscle, right?

I was in the First Desert Storm - at age 30ish!

I built a house once. Lots of hard work.

Learned framing, plumbing, and electrical work.

This is age 40ish

Not skinny, not fat - just "husky" or something.

Not just a photo op - I really did the work!

 

I have also had rescue kitties and raised chickens.

I'm very balanced in traditional male/female roles...

 

Been a Nurse-Nanny for little kids in wheelchairs 

and cared for little old ladies (dear old mom)

 

I went to University, but was always "in trouble"

for goofing off..... 

I never had to study or practice *yawn*

(music major - Sigma Alpha Iota, and Alpha Lambda Delta)

I had an "angry phase," early in my 20's.... but no more.

So that's how I understand what people sometimes go through.

Maybe I'm going through a fat - life crisis right now.

It's like a mid-life crisis, but for Heavies.

And now for the "accomplishment part"

This is, after all, partial fulfillment of a blog award!

One accomplishment I am pleased with is:

One year, I took a Sabbatical.

Almost a year off. And I read the Dictionary!

Also read the Hebrew Bible "aka Old Testament."

Which I had never read before. Amazing.

Being a Hospice Nurse is one of my greatest accomplishments.

I never studied in Nursing School, either.

Army Nursing School, at that!

3 of my instructors recommended me for Army Medical School!

(And as a student, not a cadaver, eh?)

One accomplishment might be 

the nearly 20 years of reading A Course In Miracles.

Just now starting to wrap my mind around what it says....

So that's kind of 7 things about me....

I am so shy - I even disappoint myself at times.

So please forgive me if you have been kind enough to

give me an award, and I never did anything with it.

This is my attempt to correct all that.

Nothing personal - just my inability to respond 

as I should, and as I wish I could!

Thanks for reading !

Hope your day is warm and cozy!
