What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?
It hasn’t crossed my mind to take a risk lately. The biggest risk I ever took was to encourage Bud to quit his job in the energy field and pursue a degree in nursing, a field with growth and job opportunities. It would mean I’d have to commit to working sixty hour weeks for the duration. We both worked on the budgeting and reached the conclusion it was possible. We launched the plan. I got all the overtime I could at my regular job and sought out extra shifts in the emergency room and ICU. Meanwhile, Bud concentrated on his studies. He graduated with honors and no student loans. I survived the ordeal.
I am proud of us both.

The biggest risk I’d like to do is to fight for my love ones which I already did but kept getting betrayed and forgotten…

As a young child I liked the idea of being a ballerina….or a vet..working with animals, however there is only so much time:) FYI. My American friends arrive on Thursday and so if I am not around so much during the next week, that’s why. I hope to post pictures……

We are proud , too. Bud would have been phased out by fifty. Many of his frinds struggled to find good work after fifty.
