I like to consider myself a kind person with a listening ear. I love helping people where I can and get great joy out of solving problems. I enjoy reading (mostly non-fiction/religion/cookbooks), I love painting and am learning to use water colors as well as acrylic. I love to cook for my family and have family dinners. I am often busy with life's demands so finding free time can be a challenge, but I'd like to change that. Health is becoming a priority as I age and mindfulness is a skill I am trying to learn.
