Introduction Text The following is a poem that my mother dedicated to me many years ago. I was 17 then and I didn't quite understand it like I do now. I dedicate it to the many special people I have met here that have blessed my life and I want you all to know I believe in you! WE CAN DO IT! Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. © Max Ehrmann 1927

My Goals: 1) To Finish Something 2) To Lose weight 3) To Be More Active 4) To take responsibility for my own life.

I have set information on my trackers here. I have joined a gym that is open 24/7. I am working on a workout plan and will join a weight loss challenge through my work.

I am from Texas and I am currently working as a social worker for the state. I work with a program for Medically Fragile Children.

My favorite things to do are read, write and work on the computer. I would eventually love to reach my weight loss goals. I have always dreamed of being able to go rock wall climbing and hiking. I want to be able to do that before I'm too old! LOL
