I have come to realize that some of my behavior has resembled that of a tortoise; metaphorically of course. Like many things in life, I have only realized that in looking back over the last few months. I was the tortoise traveling down the dusty road of life when last Fall, I hit rough […]
I went to bed last night knowing that I was going to sit in my recliner with a cup of coffee and write a blog. The thought made me smile to myself…like meeting an old friend that I had missed seeing and was looking forward to catching up with.
