This is how I define me

Hon. Mrs. Bernadette, I especially like your comments about 'Looking forward' Nothing is ever accomplished by looking at the past. Each new day should be a fresh new experience. Always make amends and not burn bridges, as they occur. Even if there is slight on either side, always better to be safe than sorry. Give yourself a break.

I have been having a tough time lately, my forgetfulness is getting to me and I'm in and out mentally as drifting in thought. The anxiety hits without warning, it just gets to you while trying to get on with life. Have to remind my oldest son I can't do what I use to due to fatigue.
Life goes on and I am trying to get into a different type of norm lol
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and guess what your moving! 😆😆😆
