I turn thirty-one on May 26.
There aren't any complaints in my life today. In one week I begin work on my accounting degree.
I basically raise my daughter and take care of my health.
I used to live in a different state where people had jumped, beat or spat on me.
Now I live in Montana.
Recently my daughter brought a stray cat home on her way home from school. We feed her and she likes us.
My only major concern with HIV was an allergic reaction to a medication.

Bleueyes, I believe I responded to one of your threads in off topic, but let me welcome you to the forums again.  And happy birthday!

I'm sorry you've had so many bad experiences with people in your life, but the fact that you're here shows that you're a survivor.  I would like to invite you to join us other ladies in the "positive women" section of this forum.  We have some amazing ladies there, and a lot of support.  We'd love to have you join us.

Good luck with working on your degree. I recently went back to school myself to finish a BS in psychology.  It's a good feeling. 

Once again, welcome.  I hope to hear more from you.
  Luv,
Betty

bleueyes -- Welcome!  I hope you'll find a supporting community here.

My name is Peter, and I founded this website eight years ago.   Oh, and my oldest brother and his family have a log cabin summer home in Montana, just outside Helena.  I love the state.

Welcome! and Happy Birthday! :)
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important

The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge..

One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.

One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.

Welcome to the forums.  I hope you have a wonderful birthday in your new state with your daughter and newfound cat.  There are a lot of really nice and helpful people on this site.

Best of luck with your degree!
