These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

When it said:
  • not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing; not making a commitment to a career
    (When I commit to a job, I commit. Most of my jobs, other than those that were actually temporary in nature, lasted 2-12 years.)
  • feeling confined when I'm in a one-to-one relationship
    (I don't think this is accurate at all. When the relationship isn't balanced, yes, of course, I feel trapped, restless, rebellious; but when the other person is working with me to make it successful, I'm there to stay.)

  2. I usually don't care for these things, but I took the test, turned out to be an Ingrid like Daisy, and the results really ring true. The Ingrid characteristics really apply to me.

    Hugs,

  3. It freaked me out a little, I will admit. A lot of what was written was true.

    Strange.

  4. Daisy, do you think it fits?

    Betty, odd how just two questions make such am accurate picture, isn't it?

    IE, yeah, I thought no way would this be even close, but it was pretty spot on!

  6. OK, Daisy, just wondered. :)

    You and I certainly run a lot of parallels, don't we?
