Day 90
Last day of March. Decisions have been made. Sitting at a crossroads, one last decision to make once we get one more answer from an outsider. Did I mention that I am not good at waiting?
Day 71
Casual hobbies are a must for relaxing your brain. Even those past times that seem violent on the surface will relax the participants. Archery, target shooting, football, boxing, gaming or competition knitting. Find your way to relax. Don’t worry about the naysayers. They can find their own zen.

Day 31
…of the hostage situation…..not really it just feels that way. I am exhausted and can’t sleep. Big changes are coming for myself and my family. We are under contract on a new house and the moving stress is coming. Prayers, chocolate, and red wine will follow. Have you moved to a new city? What are…… Continue reading Day 31
