Left for dead on the roadside….
For 5 months, since my marriage ended, I have been Woe Me (hand swept across brow in 18th century damsel in distress sort of way). I’m ok with this. While I’m a glass half-full kind of person, occasionally you … Continue reading
Touching Times II
I am alone but I have been so touched, and that is making all the difference. This is what I talked about it my last blog. Six days of being wrapped around my girls, having fun in the sun. After … Continue reading
