So for this week here are a few random things I know for sure...
- My mom is amazing. She raised 5 of us all by herself at a time when single parenthood was unusual, not the norm, whether you were a widow or not. And coming from a "broken home" (a home without 2 parents) guaranteed you were either going to end up in prison or be a drain on society. My siblings and I are all productive members of our communities, holding down jobs and supporting our families. And not one of us has seen the inside of a jail cell.
- A good song can do great things for my spirits.
- My definition of a good movie is one that touches me whether through laughter or tears.
- I was a huge X-Men fan long before it was popular. I've collected the comics for years. When the first movie was made and they announced some unknown Australian was going to play Wolverine, I was less than thrilled. I will admit Hugh Jackman did and continues to do a great job bringing the character to life.
- While I love moody and broody characters in books and movies, they are too hard to live with in real life.
- I have the utmost respect and admiration for anyone who serves in the military.
- I love to make homemade bread. I find the whole kneading process very relaxing. On those extra stressful days, you'll find me in the kitchen whipping up a batch of bread.
- I honestly can't understand how people can say they don't read or don't like to read. It's like they're speaking a foreign language.
- Don't let anyone talk you out of your dreams. I wasted years not writing because I was told I was wasting my time.
- I'd rather read than do almost anything else...except maybe eat cookies. LOL
