I am learning this year that I control the choices in my life! Right -- it took me 49 years to figure this out! But like I always say -- why not today! I have started making better choices for me and most importantly becuase I want to be here for a LONG time to enjoy my life with my daughter, Teresa! She has the right to a mom who can do lots of things with her for a long time! I have the right to live a life that I am proud of instead of just surviving! I am a teacher and have been for almost 24 years! I have so many "children" that I taught and love like my own children who share so many of their joys and sorrows with me even though we don't see each other every day! I love teaching young people to envision their life and make it happen -- why not me -- why not today! So here we go! Let's see how many positive choices I can make in 30 days and where this road leads! July 22 (a day to start new) - Aug 22 (first day of school teaching year 24!)
