During times of reflection, we take a look back at how our decisions affected our day. I try not to be obsessive with "rights" and "wrongs", but hindsight is always 20/20. My mind doesn't like the feeling of ignoring the "right" and "wrongs", but I won't get anywhere being so narrow. So, as I open…
Every day, I find many things in front of me that are new. When seeking knowledge or experience on new things in our lives, we have questions. I have noticed something about myself that has changed over time when it comes to "questions" - I used to be afraid to ask questions, because I feared…
The busyness of life sometimes brings us to get lost in everyday tasks. In the last two weeks, I have been busy. I am a little sad I didn't make time to blog, but it happens. It would be different if it was a really tough, grind-through two weeks but it hasn't - it's been…
