I had dreams before I married the RAH. When my girls are out of high school, I wanted to go work for the World Health Organization and travel the world.
There is absolutely no reason I still can't do that.
But like WTBH, after 4 years with an alcoholic, I am finding my voice again. Politics - HUGE minefield. I learned very quickly to just do the bobblehead...never disagree...and lie about who I voted for when pressed, to end the conversation as quickly as possible.
I turned into the very liar I accused him of being - just to avoid the traps he set to have a battle. Sick. That's just pathetic.
I also had a horse when I was younger. I'd like to have one again.
I make jewelry...a long time ago used to do re-design's for my Grandma's friends with their old 40's and 50's beaded necklaces. I haven't made anything in a long time.
I used to volunteer for the parks & rec department cleaning up trails around town, since I am a big user. Haven't done that in a long time, too.
And I was very civically involved. I have begun to do that again.
