I am a divorced lady. Worked full time- raised five children- his and mine. We had no ours-recoken the dog Pebbles was the ours. I will not go into much detail here only to say- I am now enjoying my life as a single woman.
I once read that our faults are holes in our life that lets the light shine through-well I am full of those holes. I feel I have learned much and hope by sharing my experiences that it may help others avoid some of pitfalls I had. I know how to make my own sunshine on those cloudy days! I am now retired and do whatever I want!

"You Don't even know me," Said the little duck, with sadness in her eyes I'm not your breed, bu...
