My nickname is SAM and that is my name preference.
I work at the local crisis-center I'm a very positive thinker. And, I'm always impressed that I manage to land on my feet -- even when it seems such a long way off ! I do not stress over the glass being half-full OR half-empty....I GLORY THAT I HAVE A GLASS !
I have one daughter, Suni, who is married to Ed, a Marine. Ed actually volunteered to go to Iraq. They are now stationed at 29 Palms, CA where Ed is a teacher in the Marine Corp. Suni is working on her elementary teaching certification, too.
My household now consists of 2 cats. Poi from Hawaii and Carmelita from the no-kill shelter.
