Hello,

I am the youngest of a large family (13of usintotal). yes, I am number 13! I was widowed in 2006 when my wonderful husband was in fatal accident at work. I am the mother of 1 biological adult son, Matthew. I have had chronic health issues since  childhood, which have left me with several related health complications that I deal with daily. These have led me to suffer withsome challenging depression. I am a very independent disabled woman of 58 years. I have been a Type 1 Diabetic since the age of 10. It's been a tough journey over the past 48 years but, I am managing the best that I can. I am also a born-again Christian, baptized by full immersion in April of 2000. I stay active in several church groups including the Widow's group and our 55+ social group in order to stay connected and in the with other people my own age. I love to attend fun group activities and live entertainment shows with friends. I prefer to be in a healthy romantic relationship over being single and living alone (which is my current status as of 2012, when my marriage ended in divorce. So, I patiently wait for the Lord to reveal His perfect plan for me. Until then, I will continue to improve my mental and physical health, which is what brings me to join 7cups.com now. I look forward to chatting with all of you. See you in a chatroom? Namaste, Paula :)
