Just Say ‘Yes!’

I went looking for a job, and I found a large body of water instead. Driving up and down an unfamiliar road I looked and looked for the address that promised a dead end low paying hourly job.  Up and down and all around the strip malls, it seemed as though the address was missing.… Continue reading Just Say ‘Yes!’

Look Up!

I'd been feeling really bogged down lately. I was spending way too much time asking, 'Why' questions. "Why are things the way they are? Why did that happen? Why isn't this happening?"
