Sometimes it seems like life turns around and punches us in the gut and when we are trying to recover it does it again and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Back at the end of 2024 I lost most of the vision in my right eye. I have Type 1 diabetes and had too much damage in my eyes to be able to save much of the vision. Now, it looks like my "good" eye is heading in the same direction as my bad eye is. That doesn't bode well for me as the probability of my going blind in the future is pretty high. I don't want to be blind among all the other health issues that I have. I just don't have time for it. I would appreciate any good energy if you'd be willing to send some. Prayers, too,,,, My husband is my eyes right now and we are trying to catch up as soon as we can. Sorry for any inconvenience!!

.I tend to like music from the 70's & 80's artists like: Elton John, Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Journey, Rod Stewart, Pet shop Boys, Queen, etc. Penatronix is a new to me group that I really like, also.

Don't really tend to watch much tv. Masked Singer, Top Level Chef, college volleyball, etc.

Some movies I like are: Wizard Of Oz, Pretty In Pink, White Chicks, Lord Of The Rings, The Rose, The Accountant, Hocus Pocus, Venom, Dead Pool, Guardians Of The Galaxy.....

Most of the crafting I do is with rubber stamps, clip art, recycled items. Mostly making ATCs & cards but want to learn how to journal & make flip books, too. Just not enough hours in the day!!

I like making mini pocket letters, ATCs, hand made post cards, scrapbook pages, chunky pages, very basic journaling, etc. I like going to thrift stores, dollar stores, yard sales to find goodies to craft with or recycle.
