About me: I love life; it's a gift to be experienced, savored, and shared. (I constantly need to work on the sharing part cuz I love being alone!) I'm a firm believer in the goodness of everything, that God created it all and said "it was good". All people, places, music, foods - even the "bad" people and creatures (except for mosquitos!) - have some tiny spark within that allows them to grow into something better if they are willing. Although I'm reaching the end of "middle age", I refuse to grow up, at least if that means becoming inflexible and unwilling to try new things! Away from the computer keyboard, I'm a Librarian by profession. I love electronic media much more than books, but I do like to read. I have been happily married to my high school sweetheart for 38 years and am the very proud parent of a great son.

Oh Renata your here! I was just thinking about you...must be ESP. What are your plans for the Holidays, I would love to come and visit as it has been too long!!! I found an old book in my room "The Colour of Magic" and I think it was yours or Tom's. I finally read it after all these years;)
