What would you do if you won the lottery? We all have that dream. More or less. That dream that we have while awake toiling at some task. You could be doing the dishes, looking out the kitchen window, and for a split second, your mind wanders. All […]
This morning, as I bundled up for another brisk winter day, I heard something that made me pause: birds chirping. Yes, real, live birds singing their little hearts out—just days after Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and dashed all our hopes for an early spring. It’s like the […]
