We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders.

  Thank you, Bill. I know what you mean. Over time I’ve gradually found many sources of positive on the net and tend to primarily focus on those. My life has become better and brighter since consciously making that decision.
