Who am I and why am I here Internet?

I was in my late 30's when I had my son. At the time, filled with first-time mom worries and the knowledge that a long lifespan was not in the family genes, I prayed that God would see fit to let me live until I was 50. That way, in my post-natal fog I figured, I would at least be around for his first 20 years. Well, that was well over 20 years ago and I have passed the 50-mark by a year plus. Hence, the phrase: the bonus years.

The challenge ahead: making these years count!

I was reading through some old emails from a year ago and realized that I'm stuck, like a mouse on a wheel, with some old behaviors.

This blog site will be introspective, reflective, and hopefully, inspire me to make sure I really live life to the fullest and learn from past experiences.
