At school we are always telling the students, “Just because a thought is in your mind, doesn’t mean it has to come out of your mouth.” I think we all need to remember this and not just 5 year olds! I know I do! Most of the time, people say things that are kind and… Continue reading 0.01%

I’ve been places like the circus, movies, concerts, etc. where they tell you to sit back and enjoy the show. Many times the show was enjoyed, but sometimes it was not.

When I wear a long sleeve shirt with cuffs, my family teases me because I like to roll the cuffs up. I don’t like them going half way down my hand. There are a lot of time we roll our sleeves up. When we’re washing our hands, when we are hot, or getting ready to… Continue reading Roll ‘Em Up!

No one likes to be used. We’ve all been there though. Used by an old boyfriend or girlfriend, a job, our spouse, and others we trusted. It’s amazing.

It has been 3 years and 24 days. Some anniversaries are good to celebrate with each other. Birthdays, weddings, jobs, and other milestones, but there are those anniversaries that are celebrated privately, perhaps even alone.
