As a beginning writer, I was happy to be on my way, writing and learning as much as I could. With two little kids underfoot, as well as working full-time, it was really difficult to make time for writing, but I managed.Readers told me they laughed, cried or were inspired by my articles. But they didnt know what was really going on behind the typewriter. I was not a happy mommy, and found it difficult to enjoy the everyday little things in life. In short, I was not a happy person.I realized I had to make some changes. I started walking every morning. It cleared my head, allowed me time to think, gave me fresh air, and made me feel invigorated(精神焕发) and healthy. I was eating wisely, and the weight started to go. I started a new job, joined a monthly writing chapter, and was determined to keep up my walking. Finding the balance was sometimes difficult. But I was determined to fit in writing time because it made me happy. Sure I loved to watch the news and have my tea, but that wasnt what made me truly happy.My own happiness has shown through my family, my job performance and my attitude towards challenging situations.

The pair learned from each other, with Berloni becoming better and better as a trainer. Sandy showed in almost all of the shows 2,377 Broadway performances and enjoyed retirement on Berlonis farm when the productions first Broadway run ended in 1983.Since then, Berloni has made a point of finding all his dogs at shelters. Nessa is one of his dogs who plays Toto in “The Wizard of Oz”. After about a year of working together, Berloni and Nessa are like old friends.
