I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Joy. Joy. Joy. I’m determined to find joy. Be joyous. Share joy. I’m determined to cast aside the fogginest and dark clouds that try to sweep down and cage us in. I can’t wait weeks or months. The pursuit of joy cannot be put on hold. Today’s joyfull […]
