A cat. Quiet but "thinking" all the time.  I sure love the way they can truly R-E-L-A-X.  I envy that. They seem smart and intellectual. They saunter and have "attitude". They purr when they are happy and content. Pet magazines say it's their way of saying, "I love you and you belong to me".

Question #18.... What is the most difficult thing you have had to forgive?
I really forgive easily but the breaking of marital vows and promises truly was a hard thing to get past. When my ex said he was remarrying and moving on...BOY was that hard to forgive. Thank God that I did the "Experiencing God" study at that time because it helped me to heal and forgive.

Question #19....If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?
I have been very fortunate to live in many, many places and I have realized that it is the people you surround yourself with and the friendships and relationships that make places wonderful. I have lived in super spectacular places but without friendships and/or family then it was not a good place. I love Borger, Texas and it is because of my family (immediate and blended), grandkids, etc.

d. Attending a 3 room schoolhouse in Washington state when we were migrant farmworkers.

Question #22...Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?

Question #24 What is your love language?
 Words of affirmation (both written and verbal)

Question #25 What is the most misunderstood thing about you?
