About Me

Rita A. Gomez: I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. Now that I'm retired, I love to spend more time with family and friends. I always like to express my thoughts; I enjoy writing and public speaking, so I thought I'd blog. I've committed to enjoy each day, live in the moment, carpe diem, make the most out of the time I have. I also promised myself to find beauty in the simplest of things; be open-minded to experience the new and be optimistic in every situation.
