About me

I am 59 , retired , married with four adult children and have spent a lifetime dealing directly with the public via the finance industry .

Like so many people I have experienced the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" that life has to offer. I have known such joy as to believe in that marvelous song "What a Wonderful World" I have also known such utter despair as to " take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them " Fortunately those "arms" were not available and I continue to battle with the sea of troubles.
At times those seas seem more like mighty oceans.

What I have found in life is the value of family and friends. From them I draw my strength and the will to survive. I have learned that the best thing you can do for a person is to show care and consideration but above all extend encouragement for there is enough negativity already without you adding to a person's burden.
