Favorite Word:

perseverance
To me this means "never give up"! I love living, loving and "being here now"! Every day is another opportunity to see what I can learn - whether it is in formal education or "life" lessons....and life is what I make of it! Ultimately, the best I know how - to first observe and then, maybe experience new events of beauty, God's gifts and all that may be involved in them.

Least Favorite Word:

negativity
The world is rampant with it and my only response is determination to offer positives. Awareness of what is available in this lifetime is invaluable!
