In spite of the many annoying learning experiences/mistakes I've made, I have not forgotten the countless blessings that have accompanied the challenges of life. Among the many things I am thankful for . . . .

I am the eldest of five (two step-sisters). I was born a very inquisitive and quite typical Aquarius. Evidence of my independence in thought and action was almost immediately apparent to my unprepared parents. Nevertheless, they did an exceptional job with the challenge that they had created. As for me? Resistance seemed to be the order of the day. I required surgical extrication in order to conform to my new environment. I am still adjusting as required when absolutely necessary.
