Who do you spend the most time with?
I spend most of my time with my coworkers, dogs, horses, and my mom.

So I made my first YouTube video just now! Awesome.
So last year on September 30th, my dad passed away after a long 3 year fight. Surprisingly he passed from Cirorsis (not sure of spelling) of the liver. I say surprisingly because he never had a drink in his life. He was put on several different medications over his life. As you know, many medications are just for the symptoms that is causing you problems. They do not treat the problem. Anyway, those medications have side effects which cause other problems. Some of those meds caused his kidneys to shut down. He had stage 3 kidney failure along with his liver shutting down. His last few weeks were very painful and long. But now he is in heaven where he wanted to go for so long. Love you, Daf
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
My playtime is being with my horses, playing with my dogs, painting, shooting photography (landscapes).
What are your biggest challenges?
Challenges??? Well, I am my worst challenge.
What I mean by that is procrastination is the biggest challenge that holds me back. I need to find a new job, but I don’t because I don’t want to have to start over. So that is something that I am going to work on this year.
I have so many things that I need to work on. I want to eventually get better at drawing, painting, so that I can do portraits. I want to get my photography better so that I can sell prints. I want to learn so many other hobbies because I would like to turn those into lucrative ideas.
So that means that every day I will have to focus on one thing at a time in order to accomplish my goals.
Oh. I forgot to add losing weight. As you have read before, I am trying to tackle losing weight. I tell you that it is the very hardest thing to accomplish. Why?? Well…I have been overweight most of my life. This last year I have learned how hard it is too retrain the way I think about eating.
My husband and I went to dinner one night a couple months ago. I had gotten a chicken tenders meal at Popeye’s. Now normally I would have gotten the 5 piece meal with a large Mac and cheese. I had been telling him that I don’t need to get 5 pieces. I need to get the 3 piece meal.
So anyways, I ordered the 3 piece with a small Mac and cheese. We got done eating and left. My “fat” brain started saying that wasn’t enough. I should have gotten the bigger meal. So I started evaluating my fullness. I mentally said no, I am just right in the comfort of being full. Not too full it hurts, but just right.
Lol. I know this sounds crazy. But it was very real. This was the first time my brain was thinking this. Besides doing the saying “My eyes are bigger than my stomach” which happened all the time.
Anyways those are a few of things that I have to overcome and accomplish this year. So good luck to everyone that has those same thoughts and goals that we want surpass. I hope you all have a great year.

What makes you feel nostalgic?
Looking back at pictures seeing memories with friends or seeing my pets that have passed. Those photos bring back fond memories.
Sorry, for the position of the photogragh. I have to figure out how to turn it horizontal.
