I live in the U.S. and I'm married. My husband is terminally ill with emphysema and I take care of him at home. His daughter lives with us and help me with his care. We have three cats.
I am an "old" lady-officially a senior citizen this year. I am a retired Mental Health Counselor. (I retired for my own mental health) I love to read, write, paint, do crossword puzzles, laugh, dance, explore, travel, talk, listen, volunteer, help others and I have a long list of things I want to do before I die.
I am a Christian with a pretty deep faith. I work a lot in my church and for a mission program in Haiti. I volunteer to do taxes for an association for retired people.
