I'm 48 yrs old, single, and living in a disabled/elderly apt building. I was hit by a car while crossing the street when I was 30 so I suffer from back problems and arthritis. I am overweight, and just started a diet. I suffer from depression and try to keep myself occupied.

Little things mean a lot. Keep your chin up.

I love cross-stitching, reading, socializing, music, and yard sales. I like to make little pictures, bookmarks, etc for neighbors and friends. I might see a little cross-stitch picture that looks like their dog and sew it and leave it wrapped on their door as a surprise.

I love the woods and the seashore, windy days, learning something new, bookstores and libraries, chatting with friends, being mischevious, laughing, ghost stories, movies, and just enjoying life in general.

I want to grow (smaller), learn and improve. I want to dare to dream and change things. I want to make the most of what I've got, think positively and keep going even though I may stumble.
