Only today matters
My son, who is 5 (and 3/4 he would chime in proudly) is on a t-ball team this Spring. When we got to our first practice I was relieved to find our assigned team a perfect match for him. There was no expectation that youRead more…
Dear Body,
Dearest Body, What can I give you in exchange for remaining healthy? I was missing my father and you expressed yourself through shingles… I am missing my beloved and you’re expressing yourself through strep throat… OUCH. I’ll offer to abstain 100% from the foods thatRead more…
