I take pleasure in little things, sun shining, chatty phonecall with a daughter, hug from a Grandchild.
Can be depended upon when there is a problem, crisis might be too strong a word but have helped with chopped fingers, broken bones and emotional wrecks.
Strong sense of duty and moral compass, but I know that that can make me seem a bit worthy.

I am a dreadful worrier and a bit over sensitive - like a tortoise if someone is unpleasant to me...I'm back in my shell!

I can be quite motivated about some things but othertimes I could Laze for England.
