As we age
I was looking into the mirror the other day, when I noticed a new wrinkle forming around by my mouth. It was discouraging, but then I realized that it was a sign that I liked to smile and it was formed from years of things that brought me joy. I watched an ad for…

Get some fresh air
Yesterday afternoon I was a little tired and grouchy. Not quite myself. So while my husband was at work, my boys and I decided to go for a long walk with our dog. We put on our outdoor gear and headed outside. Almost immediately, I could feel a sense of joy come over me. So…

Take a breather
I will admit I had writers block a bit today. I have been through a lot lately and have had many things in which to process. Sometimes that gives me inspiration and makes it easier to write. Other times, like now, my brain just needs to rest. It is easy to be frustrated about…
