Well, JJ tells me the last post I wrote came off very ominous and open ended. Not worries, all is fine, life just has its ups and downs and who wouldn’t want it to always be up? I’m a little behind this week in posting to this blog. I’ll try and play catch-up. Sidenote: Had…
This has been a difficult week for me on many fronts. And while I hesitate to even pen personal feelings in a public way – I do feel like this is a pivotal moment in life – a time that I want to remember and at some point reflect back on in a positive way….
