The Best Time of the Year in Where It All Begins

The Beginning of November in The Day To Day Ramblings
Hello again! I meant to drop in and write once or twice over the weekend but I worked 12 hour shifts Friday, Saturday and Sunday and that left very little time for anything social. I did manage ...

I'm taking a rest day today. Not just a physical rest day, in the sense that I'm not going for a run or stepping on to the volleyball court, but a soul rest day too. The kind where I find those ...
Ten True Things in Where It All Begins
I come here to write and read every few days and always walk away feeling like whatever I wrote doesn't quite explain where I'm at. My life is no more or less complicated than anyone else yet I s...
Follow Your Passion (cross posted) in The Life Of A Nurse

A Few Thankful Thoughts (cross posted) in Where It All Begins
Rob and I went to my 10 year high school reunion on Saturday. Where did the time go?! I graduated with 450 people but only roughly 50 people (including spouses!) showed up. Thankfully about 25 of...
