About Me: I am a coping and recovering survivor of a classic nervous breakdown that began in 2002. I became so anxious and overwhelmed that I developed agoraphobia in 2006 and again in 2009 which led to my ultimate resignation in 2010, just 3 years shy of full retirement. I am a little bit country, a little geeky, sometimes a total nerd. I'm passionate about the things I really believe in like the joys to be gotten from having pets in your life. I get philosophical, analytical, and sometimes metaphysical. I believe there is some truth to things that exist beyond our understanding. I still believe in chivalry and romance, but often wonder where they are hiding. I am a closet romantic who secretly wishes fairy tales could come true for all of us, but I am also a realist. Balancing the dichotomy of my beliefs has been amusing at times, but also frustrating. I love the open water and if I were someday rich enough, I would spend a lot of time cruising the world's vast oceans from one port to another although I would only rarely disembark. I've mentioned a lot of incongruous details in this space. I hope you will return to read the blog posts as I share stories and memories we might all be able to relate to.
Be safe, be blessed,
Chandalee
