.... picture yourself in a cozy booth, in a local pub, having a few drinks, listening to your favorite songs on the jukebox in the background  ...i am sitting with you and we are talking about our lives and who we are, why we are, what we believe in, where we are going  ...  we talk like old friends yet we don't know each other's last name...   ...through the internet we have been able to strip away all the confines of polite society...   ...so we can talk of things that really matter..      ...without judgement or prejudice...    ...we can speak of all our experiences because we have no need to hide our secrets ...   ...we are all the sum of all our life experiences   ...finally with each other we can talk and understand our lives as a whole without large parts missing out of fear or judgement .... so lets begin...

your turn to ask me a question......

I'd smile at you and offer the toast "L'Chaim" (to life). Then I'd ask you what you really wanted out of life and whether you were getting there or not.

I used to think that being loved and being a good mom were all I wanted in life, but that was before I realized that this life is not a dress rehersal. I have reached the point where I want things for me too.
I am still working on making everyone happy and sometimes it works. I am happy that I can look toward to tomorrow and see things I want to do and know I am taking steps to make them happen. Yes, I believe I am getting there...
