| Introduction | My life slowly became a shamble with cancer. I lost my ranch house and orchard, my geese and goats. I lost my furniture and most possessions in move. I have been losing friends due to move and drop-out from my nursing (third career) career. I get high on seeing the mountains and driving around in the country (I used to drink a cold beer on the way home in the summertime), I once was pretty (but called 'healthy looking', very shy from childhood abusive parents (alcholic, forceful, uncaring parents--although the food was good enough), love reading as escapism, loved college as challenging, rescued animals sometimes to my detriment (mistreated dogs lived a long time afterward and still snapped over their food (no Mr. nice guy to retain them and me), antique furniture, haven't had a hug from someone nice in years. |

| Favorite movies | As a girl saw 'Wizard of Oz' and was overwhelmed by change from B & W, to color, also amazed her neighbors became her 'dream world' reality--a movement into loving the written word |
| Favorite music | Classical, jazz, Mexican, and mixed media from all parts of the world--Music sends me out of my problem areas for a time. |
