changes since the original posting:
a. lover of nature- changed to W.o.W. (which means my worlds of wonder)
*these are things in nature, events, or situations, that make me stop what I am doing in order to admire the object that has caught my attention.
My biggest W.o.W is the moon.
When I was teaching General Science several years ago, we had a lesson on the Phases of the Moon. I gave them a project that made them observe the everyday changes from The New Moon to the Full Moon- all 28-29 days. I also asked them to write their own myths about the moon. Their projects were amazing!
Once in a while, I would get messages fro m my former students (now in college) who say how they liked that project a great deal. It has made them more aware of their own W.o.W.s.
b. who has self-confidence- changed to in constant search
b. who has self-confidence- changed to in constant search
I realized that in this world one has to be always in constant search. When people become reliant on just their own confidence, then, they become stagnant and proud.
I can't say I am self- confident because I know that it is God who gives me the confidence to make things happen, all for His greater glory. If I am a better person, I am more humbled, because His Hands are leading me.

c. who lives with Costa (for 25 years now), 2 young daughters who are
practically grown up, pets- (Cyril , Moe, and the newly adopted female
dog [still trying to come up with a good name])- changed to who is married to Costa for almost 26 years now, 2 daughters who are young adults, and pets.. our dog's name is Libby.
Marriage is a commitment and partnership. I am grateful and thankful for our marriage, for the vows that we have made. Now, we are at the stage where are daughters are young adults, taking the lessons they have learned from us, and trying to make their own decisions for now and the future. Costa and I are stewards/caretakers of God's children.

Libby- is a wonder part of the family. Why Libby? Her name signifies freedom: Liberty. We decided to adopt her last year on July 4th.
We are also called to love God's creatures- we call them our PETS.
