My Life In Ten Lines

born into country life to two ordinary parents
raised protestant and to be a good girl
high school came, peer pressure, virgin no more with high school sweetheart
college life, hell raiser, free spirit
living life on the edge, drugs, drinking escaped to Florida
city life, hard working, baby to raise
moved to Indiana, marriage, son and heartbreak of adoption
Ohio home sweet home hoping for better luck and happiness
daughter in school, new husband, new start, baby boy on way
home owner, good job, writing like crazy!

Your life has been such a rollercoaster, Karen! Life wasn't easy, but you managed to cope with the ups and down, as the last line suggests. We all make mistakes; hopefully we learn from them! ~ Regards // paul
