I am nobody special. I am just a person trying to make it through life with out cracking too hard. I was raised by a woman that made all of her children feel they were above others. She wanted us to have confidence and be strong. Many times we were not allowed to play with other children because they did not have proper backgrounds. It was not like they were much different than we were. We led a lonely life as children and young adults. That makes for a rough life in the adult world.
My first husband was a total introvert. He drove a truck so he did not have to work around people. I totally understood. We did not have visitors in our home. He bought guard dogs that attacked people when they came through the door. I had a friend over once and she was attacked and her new purse was broken. She was not hurt but she was shocked and so was I.
So needless to say I remarried. I am now with a social butterfly. Chuck managed the local grocery for years. We cannot go out to eat without someone pulling up a chair and having a meal with us. Everyone is Chuck’s pal. He buys flowers for the widows and toys for the babies. He knows what people’s greatest needs are and helps meet them.
This has had a very big impact on me as a person. At 50 plus I am learning how to enjoy people. I am learning how to enjoy living. I am also learning how not to be an elitist. When we all get shipped to the nursing homes we will all have pretty much the same beds and the same level of care.
Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
