Day 31: Review
Well, it looks like I’ve made it through an entire month of this yearlong journey. I think what surprises me the most isn’t the fact that I’ve managed to find some little act to focus upon each day, or even … Continue reading
Day 30: Dine

Day 29: Abide
Yeah, I can’t hear that word either without thinking of The Dude–and I suppose an image of Jeff Bridges would probably increase my blog traffic…. Today is a snow day in Atlanta. To be honest, I would rather deal with … Continue reading

This is a hard one. Our finances are…not so good. Don’t get me wrong–we are not lacking in any essentials (you should see my daughter’s shoe collection), but as a family we do seem to operate at a deficit pretty … Continue reading
