C'mon in grab a cup of Java, sit, relax & stay awhile
I love scrapbooking and cardmaking, & so many other crafts!!!

Some stuff about me

These are a few things about me, my life, family and interests. I love scrapbooking & sharing with my online groups and all of the gals there, they are so kind & helpful. I wish I could be more involved, I regret letting life get by so quickly, now that I am sick (just diagnosed at age 42 with cystic fibrosis!) I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I've always just lived for the moment and I hope the memories I leave will be fond to all of those that have known me. With 27% lung capacity revised.... 23% left I have had to face the harsh reality of mortality and death; "it is what it is" as the saying goes. I am just thankful for everyday that I am blessed with. I could hope for nothing more, just knowing I was loved by my children in my life brings my heart happiness. Add on...I'm going on a cruise April 2010 Lord willin'! Please pray for me that I can remain healthy enough to make a once in a lifetime trip! xx-oo

In the hospital again.

Well, as you all know I HATE being in the hospital but I have to say this stay is amazingly better than most. I have a new Dr. & I don't have to drive sooo far! He's in South Bend, can you believe it! I can drive here by myself! If I were in St. Anthony's right now, I know they would have booted me out the door, but here, they are going to make sure these two germs in my lungs are being fought off by the meds that they are giving me. I am very happy about that. I really feel like I'm on the right track here. My sugar has been running in the 3 & 400's which is not good, come to find out mine is a specific diabetes especially from having CF, the same with my tummy problems, my thick secretions block ducts to certain places in my body. Therefore cause other diseases, cirrhosis of the liver, pancreatis; diabetes, sinus polyps anywhere you have ducts it can 'clog' I know I may not have a long future but I feel relieved that I can have some relief in my future, now I just have to get away from the stress and hatred in my life! Love, Better Health and Peace is mine, in 2009!

Happy New Year To All!!!

Just wanting to wish everyone a great New Year. I am hoping this one brings peace and harmony. If you are viewing this you must know me, either through my groups or as friends and family. Life has thrown me alot of curve balls this year one with my disease and one in my home life. I am trying to struggle through and survive both. So, we'll see what this year has in store. I am praying for better health, peace and harmony for me and all of my friends. Till next time!

Well, I'm scared of the New Year!!!

What a way to start this year out!!!! It's began with a bang. Hubby and I are like oil and water, (not good post holiday stress disorder!) our furnace went out and I have a broken rib (fourth or fifth time now!) I hope this is no indication of what's to be this year... If it starts out this bad, then I'm scared, but then again there's nowhere from down but up.....Right??? Right???? Please someone say right!
