<div style="text-align: center;">
I am finally ready to do my part to help raise awareness for this extremely mysterious disease.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I struggled with sharing my story for so long</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was scared of being labeled as "sick" or judged, and then I realized..</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
"why hide who you are?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...THIS is ME!<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show">!</span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>F</i></span>or a life without Lupus, we must first know Lupus!<br />
Lupus is a chronic, complex and prevalent autoimmune disease that affects more than 1.5 million Americans. Basically our immune system is confused and instead of attacking foreign invaders as it should, it attacks our own tissues and organs and mine is specifically attacking my kidneys and joints. Lupus Symptoms include:<br />
* Achy joints <br />
* Unexplained fever<br />
* Swollen joints (arthritis)<br />
* Prolonged or extreme fatigue<br />
* Skin rash<br />
* Ankle swelling and fluid accumulation<br />
* Pain in the chest <br />
* A butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose<br />
* Hair loss<br />
* Sensitivity to the sun and/or other light<br />
* Seizures<br />
* Mouth or nose sores<br />
* Pale or purple fingers or toes from cold or stress <br />
* Dry eye<br />
* And many, many more </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">L</span></i>iving with lupus can be extremely difficult</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and everyday is unpredictable.</div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>T</i></span>oday is my mom's 92nd birthday...she's celebrating in heaven!</div>
<div align="center">
My sister, Donna, came across this gem yesterday while she was</div>
<div align="center">
searching for pictures.</div>
<div align="center">
What a treasure, and it certainly gives you more of a glimpse </div>
<div align="center">
of what a "corker" my mom was.</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Corker - Irish meaning a remarkable or excellent thing or person)</span></div>
<div align="center">
She kept a diary of a two week vacation in Florida with Donna's Family</div>
<div align="center">
on Captiva Island then visiting us in NE Florida.</div>
<div align="center">
After reading this, I wish she kept a daily dairy of her life...</div>
<div align="center">
so entertaining and funny she was!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<i>A</i>nd who the heck is "Dear Abby"! ...lol</div>
<div align="center">
The columnist?!?</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Mom/Nana, you are missed always...thank you for leaving this treasure behind.</div>

I did bring most of my supper home for my lunch today no crabs, they wouldn't fit in my takeout container ha ha. I really enjoyed my night out with family- next stop "Dairy Queen"for ice cream (brought back memories from Irvington center) "Big Beautiful place on island was Jerry's food market which we stopped for Cold cuts for the families boat trip tomorrow.

<span style="font-size: x-small;">By the way I'm still making money by staying here and minding the pet again today (frog) just tried to call them but they were not available at this time. oops I think they just rode by here Up and down down, close to shore. <br />I waved a big beach towel with stars and stripes from the porch. <br />the boat was rocking I think the water is rough today couldn't find kids binoculars to check out boat, I'm pretty sure it was them the driver was really showing off heehee.<br /> Can't get them on my cell phone and there's a storm blowing up.<br />water is really rough right now.<br />maybe they found a better island and they forgot me and the frog.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">They are definitely leaving me on this island. I know because they won't answer their cell phone. I called three times I am all right here because I have the food and drinks. I just had steak baked potato and salad for lunch and a beer. When I run out of food I can make frog soup. Sorry Jamie it's either me or your pet. There's a boat coming in closer to shore it looks like it's drifting hope they're not out of gas. this might be my last song! "Twas on the Isle of Captiva that they left me"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">sorry I'm running out of ink. love to all, mom and Nana (over)</span><br />

I hope Debbie gets me to the plane on time I think Rachel and Jessica are going to be at the airport to see me off I'll tell them to bring my boyfriend along. had a great vacation continued- next year .2005</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike></div>

The other day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mish and I took the opportunity to do some exploring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.floridastateparks.org/park/bulow-creek"><span style="color: blue;">Bulow Creek</span></a> is a great nearby destination, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our whole time there we saw only two other people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No lines, $4 total admission and with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my new Timberlands on my feet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we were ready to roll.<br />
<br />
(Side note: Quote of the day...<br />
Mish: "Hiking through here, you need to simultaneously<br />
look<i> down</i> for snakes while looking <i>up</i> for spider webs!" True!)<br />

off the beaten track of the typical tourist...<br />
<br />
from beautiful <a href="https://www.floridastateparks.org/park/Blue-Spring"><span style="color: blue;">Blue Springs</span></a> where we went straight from the airport<br />
to see all of the manatees that gather in the Springs for the winter,<br />

but the problem here was that it was "freezing" (by Florida standards)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and apparently the bats agreed, because the thousands that flock out at dusk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
did not appear! Donna did claim to see ONE though!</div>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>S</i></span>he met my co-workers...(Kristy, she wants to spend time with you!)...<br />
and we spent a lovely lunch with Susan, where as we pulled away, <br />
Donna lamented that we didn't get our group shot. So, Susan, we need a do-over!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>M</i></span>any, many years ago,</div>
<div align="center">
I came across the perfect oak rocking chair at</div>
<div align="center">
a garage sale on a brick-paved St. Pete street.</div>
<div align="center">
The chair had already seen much use</div>
<div align="center">
evident by the difference in shading of the stain on the seat.</div>
<div align="center">
A lot of rocking was a part of its past</div>
<div align="center">
and</div>
<div align="center">
a lot of rocking was a part of its future as all of my girls </div>
<div align="center">
fell asleep numerous times by its motion.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>W</i></span>ell,</div>
<div align="center">
this rocker made its way to Asheville </div>
<div align="center">
and felt very much at home there.</div>
<div align="center">
But,</div>
<div align="center">
as fate would have it,</div>
<div align="center">
a move from one house to another proved disastrous.</div>
<div align="center">
And the chair got smushed...to smithereens.</div>
<div align="center">
When Rachel took me down to their basement</div>
<div align="center">
and showed me during one of my visits, </div>
<div align="center">
well, we just both stared sadly.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>A</i></span>nother move was made,</div>
<div align="center">
and the broken pieces went along...</div>
<div align="center">
after all how do you throw away memories!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>T</i></span>hen,</div>
<div align="center">
late the other night,</div>
<div align="center">
I received this text and picture from Joseph...</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>T</i></span>his was an exchange between Christa and Courtney, an Asheville-girl, after Christa posted a picture celebrating fall. I couldn't help to laugh out loud not only at Courtney's number of question marks, but Christa's response, "mostly in our imagination"! So very true. And thank God for vivid imaginations!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>S</i></span>o, with yesterday being the start of one of my very favorite seasons (I have 4 of them!), I had to make a decision as to how to celebrate.... and the answer was obvious. Find an available 3 year-old, dressed in her best Fallish-Florida attire, and set off to discover.....Fall! <br />

over and over again with her big brother....so much so that I started calling her, the mermaid, and him, the fish. <br />
<br />
We all know, some occasions in life just do not happen often enough! One being having all of the family...or a large percentage of... under the same roof for an extended length of time. Well, thanks to Airbnb, we did pull off some family time in July. And it was epic.... epic in the sense that we spent 95% of the time in one spot, the cars not leaving the driveway, and it was one of the best times ever!<br />
<br />
We had three criteria for our time this year....1) find a house on a lake. 2) make sure it was within reasonable driving distance and 3) <i>the main one</i>! - make sure it was a lake with <i>NO</i> <i>ALLIGATORS</i>!<br />
<br />
And Christa Jean pulled it off; she found the perfect spot....<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>S</em></span>uch memories as I go through the picture files, choosing a picture here and there. If I wanted to use all of my chosen pictures, I would have to string 3 or 4 songs together! But my purpose is not to make a documentary, but to just touch on moments of life as we live it, and that can be as simple as a smile or as difficult as capturing that first wave!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>I</em></span> love the message of this song. Basically, it's saying "live life" regardless of what might come your way..... and that is a message I want to send out to my girls....and all those I love - including you!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>D</i></span>o you read the prologue of a new book, the acknowledgements, the dedication page? I do. To me, it adds to the <i>anticipation</i> of what's to come.....the words <i>on the </i>pages<i> of the</i> chapters <i>that complete</i> the story.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>T</i></span>hat's what January is to me ~ the prologue of the next book in life. Resolutions are entertained and perhaps decided upon, goals are made, it has an air of freshness.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a New Year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is it going to hold?!?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I</i></span>n past years, history has proven that it's not always good.....we may come away with scars, both physical and emotional....but history has also proven that difficult times are always survivable and healing takes place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because of this...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Faith</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...and these...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Family</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Friends</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thank God for being my foundation...I bask in the joy of my family...My friends are pillars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trifecta of life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All elements of my book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's to January and the year to come...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the anticipation is rising!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By the way,</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>R</i></span>ecently, the majority of the fam stole a weekend away to the Dizzyworld area of Florida....just to take a break from "normal" life and sit back and relax for a bit. (We missed you so much, RaeandJoseph!) <br />
One of the more enjoyable evenings while we were there was just hanging at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/World+of+Coffee+Inc/@28.349334,-81.489358,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1s-0Vsc0wVWXqM%2FVdzjZnyGeKI%2FAAAAAAAAAAc%2FU6FhSA_2uOw!2e4!3e12!6s%2F%2Flh4.googleusercontent.com%2F-0Vsc0wVWXqM%2FVdzjZnyGeKI%2FAAAAAAAAAAc%2FU6FhSA_2uOw%2Fs152-k-no%2F!7i2560!8i1440!4m6!1m3!3m2!1s0x0:0x608d9e7d40b6bdaf!2sGhirardelli+Ice+Cream+%26+Chocolate+Shop!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0xced49dc03111e3a8!6m1!1e1"><span style="color: blue;">World of Coffee</span></a> and ice cream shoppe. ....<br />
