SAM M.

I work at the local crisis-center switchboard.

I'm a 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. That was the longest year. They have been married 13 years and are extremely happy and very close. Ed is teaching now in the Marines, and they are currently stationed at 29 Palms, CA.

My household now consists of 2 cats: Poi from Hawaii, and Carmelita from the no-kill shelter.
