I’m so grateful for my Mother’s Day gift from my husband. I’ve been eyeing that mushroom coffee drink for years now but never bought it because coffee is way cheaper at Walmart. On Mother’s Day he sat and drank it with me. He also made me a cup this morning before work. This evening heContinue reading “Good Morning”

The Things in Life that Matter Most are Free
Money has its place but the things in life that matter most are free. I had an amazing day! I had my girls, my mama, and my husband right there with me all day.

Dreams
Dreams are such an interesting thing and I’m not the only one who thinks that. They are so interesting that an entire field of psychological study is dedicated to dreams. Dreams are ancient.

Novel Writers
I think I made it to the end of my novel. The next step is going through and filling in all the unanswered questions.
