Tag You Are It!

Okay, got tagged again. This one is 6 things about me that you do not know. Thank you tile lady http://daughterm.blogspot.com/ for thinking of me. (Love the pic of the ladies)! 1. I was a gymnast for 12 years.

2. I was a widow at the age of 24 with two children.

3. I found my biological father at the age of 18.

4. Children, not flowers are my gift in life and I make Super Nanny look stupid.

5. I had a home burn down because of lightning.

6. All of these things have made me the person I am today linking me with the person I need to be with, doing the things that make me happy. No matter the pain that was felt, I would NOT change a thing. God is good! None of this took Him by surprise and since I am created in His image, really, why should I be surprised?! ( I could and should write a book)
I hope that the people I tag will tell us a little about them, I find this interesting.
AND the winners are...........

It can be time consuming, although I like learning about the people I am ALREADY sharing my life with. Relax, enjoy and share!!!

Great post. Some I knew, but a refresher course helps sometimes too.

Well that kind of leaves me speechless! I'm always telling my hubbie everyone has a story and girl do you ever. I would never have guessed those things. You are really strong!

Wow Darla, I loved hearing all this about you. Your story is so moving. No wonder you are the strong woman you are. Thanks for tagging me. I will try to do this today. My story will be boring though.

Valerie: Thanks for the visit. I can hardly wait to read about you. I'm sure it's anything but boring.

Darla: That story of your life is amazing. Was it hard to share?

Jen said...

Wow! Your attitude can be your best friend or your worst enemy; I think you have a best friend in yours.

Unknown said...

Tile Lady: Thanks for tagging me for this one. Glad you are my blogger friend too.

Marmee: Thanks.

Fishing Guy: Beleive it or not that is not even a fraction of my story, it's just what popped into my memory at the time I read the tag. No sir, it wasn't hard to share at all.

Jen: How I learned that lesson on Attitude! That's exactly correct. You know best friends fight sometimes we've come a long way.
