Sitting around the house gives you lots of time to think about things that otherwise would not cross your mind. As I lay in bed this morning, tolerating the miserable coughing fits associated with this cold, I started reviewing our budget in my head. On of the first things that jumped out at me is [...]
Thanks to the common cold I’ve been out of commission for the last few days- and for the next couple of days as well. I am using this time to plan out my next steps to come back from my previous uninspired and unmotivated state of mind. I’ll be back in a few days. And [...]

There’s something about the seventeenth time you’ve made the same mistake that is humbling and tends to bring about a feeling of despair. How could I do THAT again? Of all the things, that’s the one thing I know NOT to do, the one thing I know how to avoid…and yet I do it. You [...]
