Is it partly sunny or partly cloudy? It all depends on your perspective. Don’t miss that. When you want to have a better understanding of where you are what impact your having, you probably shouldn’t ask yourself that question. You should go back and look at the sincere notes and counsel that you’ve gotten over…
Starting to list? Not a list as in a shopping list. Not a list as in a naughty list. Not a list in the sense of a noun, but in the sense of a verb. It was during a long run on Saturday. The first 5 or 6 miles were fine, but then I started…
During certain times of your life you’ve experienced low moments. You weren’t always sure where rock bottom was. It just seemed like you were taking blow after blow.
