Seize the Day

When I was on my morning run today, it occurred to me how much of life is spent waiting for something to get here. Whether that something is: Vacation. A loved one coming for a visit. Payday.

T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday

My Top Three for the Week: 3.)  The joy and peace that comes from the "normalcy" of routine after realizing it's been so long without it.
