I have loved to write ever since I can remember and I have many diaries, journals and notebooks filled with stories about my life, my pets, trips and vacations, school, fictional adventures, poems and musings about all sorts of events and subjects to prove it. I have entered (or typed them as that is I am old school enough to really consider data entry to be) many of these hand-written papers into my computer and after doing so I then decided to arrange them chronologically by subject matter and genre as opposed to only in chronological order so that if you find reading about my pets boring you can skip that section as well as the poetry section or whichever parts of life or whatever stories are not what interests you. I hope you find something here to entertain or inspire you. There will be some stories that retell some of the same details as some other stories since I wrote all of these at different times and I also wrote them to stand alone. If a story sounds too much like another skip it and feel free to let me know if I should just take it out of this collection because I am repeating myself too much and I would like to thank if you do take the time to do so. I have lived this life so much so that I am tired of reading about it but I am hoping that by my telling some of the more painful stories I have that maybe I can give someone else in a similar situation hope that you can make it through all sorts of bad things and still come out on the right side, sunny side up I hope! This is my life and I wish to welcome you in to it! I am desperately seeking to save myself and the animal people I live with by offering you a view into my life!.
