• I LOVE.... One of my favourite all time things to do is to go second hand shopping all by myself or with some best friends and find treasures that might seem like junk to others! I love this quote...Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery and Today is a Gift. I love getting dressed up everyday! even if I am not going anywhere. I love my Family ..what my son with Down syndrome has taught me. To be kind, considerate. Not judge people and to take people at face value and get to know them first before judging. To make the most of every day like it is your last and to smile all the time(almost). To do and be what I want to to be not worrying about what others think and to hug more! To cherish and love the people that are the most important to me and surround myself with only those that build me up. ...the sound of rain on our roof ...my food and being creative every day
