i have gotten to know so many of you in the groups that I have joined. I treasure your encouraging words, kindness and love. I have received beautiful crafts and surprises along the way that I keep in my junk journals and treasure boxes.

Animals are fascinating, are they not? I am a "cat" lover and especially enjoy them up close and personal. i love watching my cat (EJ). He makes me laugh, he makes me feel loved and makes my heart sing.

Dogs are also so caring. (at least the ones I've met). Their eyes swallow you up. Their love is unconditional, I have been comforted by my dogs in the past. And, the ones I've been lucky enough to know are/have been very smart.

Another favorite animal is the Elephant. They are

I love all colors and my favorite has changed over the years. When young and young adult my fav was BLUE. Later, in high school I decided GREEN was my favorite color. Now, I'm back to BLUE. I like all blues, but a pale cornflower blue is the best!

Me. I want to be the best person that I can be. I want to never stop learning and working on myself to become a better person every day. . I make mistakes and Iry to learn by those mistakes and move on. It is a constant battle that I fight.

anuary 24th 2025 - A SPECIAL THANK YOU for a surprise RAK from ???? for the package of pre- return addressed envelopes. I'm thinking I can figure out who you are. I just need a little time to think about it. There was no return address on the envelope from you and only other thing included was a little note that said " just a little rack for Alma". You made my day with your thoughtfulness. It's always so nice to know someone is thinking about you.

ding when I was in the 1st grade. It was a highlight of my days in the summer when the bookmobile would come. I started out readingpl mysteries and love them to this day. I have many many favorite authors. To name just a few; Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Robert B. Parker (RIP). Jonathan Kellerman, John Sanford, and more which I will add later.

The Hebrew Holy Bible NIV should be my favorite book. I don't read it as often as I should.
