			I never thought I'd live in (or be able to afford) such a nice, big, beautiful home/apartment that has so many things I dreamed of while struggling to make ends meet a few years ago.  
(my own laundry room...HUGE kitchen...private deck with LOTS of sunshine...private yard for my doggies...really great neighbors and neighborhood...3 bedrooms to stretch out in, making one my Art Studio!) 
 
I never thought I'd become a Caseworker in the same office that I once received Food Stamps from... much less did I think I could become "High Management" within Medical Assistance... on just a GED! (It's amazing where you can go when you put your mind to it!!) 
 
And most important....  
I never thought I'd see Mom survive Stage 4 Lymphoma Cancer - the incurable kind - I so admire her strength!! She's still got it, but is doing so much better... I never thought I'd see her on her feet again...
