I WAS-a preschool teacher for many years, it is still part of my soul.
I AM-getting older,but feeling younger and healthier
I THINK- that this world is filled with some really selfish and thoughtless people.
I WONDER-what life has in store for me next.
I WISH-I had more money.
I SAVE-bits of "stuff" to help remember places I have been.
I ALWAYS-try my best at everything.
I CAN'T-move as quick as I used to,lol.
I BELIEVE- that a little kindness goes a long way.
I PROMISE-to try to treat myself as well as I treat other people.
I LOVE-the Phoenix Zoo.
I SCRAPBOOK-to connect the past to the future and because it is fun.

Shift change
Getting ready to switch from my beloved swing shift...back to day shift. I used to be a morning person...not so much anymore,lol. I am not thrilled w/ my days off- but its just for four months and then I will be doing a different shift.
I have been spending some time lately thinking about where I would like to live "forever" lol. My parents lived in the same house from the time I was 8 mo old until I was 22. I loved living in the same place. I have not been able to do that as an adult, and while I have liked almost everywhere I have lived, I am thinking about "whats next" at this time. I have figured a few things out so far.
One is that I want to stay in Casa Grande. I really really like it. I "know" the people at my Sonic... and at my pharmacy...etc. I just love that kind of thing.
I have also decided that the likelyhood of me getting married again is slim to none,lol. So I have decided that my idea of living on a large piece of land in the boonies is not that realistic for a 40 something old lady w/ RA,lol. I have been looking at some homes in the historic district in town, and am finding several homes that seem to "fit" me. No houses that all look the same- definately no HOA-bigger yards and cross my fingers for a block fence. With the prices of homes so low now, I can get something really nice for about less than half of what I am paying for rent. We will see how it all plays out- but I'm looking around.
I'm still feeling better all the time, had a touch of a cold this week, but the RA stuff is waaay better.
I have not scrapbooked in a really long time! I have been to the zoo 3 times recently- and with my switch to day shift this summer I will be up at the crack of dawn anyway-so I might get a few good trips in this summer too.
