Finding Life beyond the struggles
I love Summer. I could happily spend my life in a perpetual summer or be a beach bum. Unfortunately I don't live anywhere near a beach and this year we've had a lot of rain. Last week was sunny and hot, though, so we spent our evenings in the pool. Ah bliss. Last week I... Continue Reading →
