I am 59 years young. I am a domestic violence survivor. As a result I suffer from PTSD and social anxiety. I want to live my best life now!

Everything! I raised my children on my own- working 2 jobs. They are beautiful girls and I am thankful that I was brave enough to get them out of a horrible situation! I have always been the 'caretaker" for everyone in my family,and now it's time for me to enjoy life! I'm starting to travel more and am starting to do things that are outside my comfort zone!
How do you stay fabulous?I try to keep a positive attitude. I am a nurse currently working 12.5 hour shifts in an Emergency Room. The constant running is good exercise. When I'm not working I do a lot of big DIY projects to my home. Including, but not limited to, rebuilding my foundation and also my basement walls. Hard work keeps my body strong, as well as keeping my mind busy! I like to walk, ride my bicycle and really enjoy working outside. In all of my pictures I submitted i an over 50.
What would you do with the $40,000?I have accomplished a lot in my life, though. I own my own house and have done a lot to make it a home. I would use the money to pay off some of my debts. I would also donate money to help domestic violence victims. The shelter my girls and I stayed at was amazing and I know these places need help, whether it be monetary, food, clothing, etc. They helped my children and I when we were in desperate need, and I would like to give back. I would also donate to our local breast cancer support group.
