Describe one of your favorite moments. Even in the dark times, there are bright moments. And in the brightly lit moments, there are brilliant moments. You just have to be aware enough to capture them. You also have to pocket those moments into your memory bank so that […]
What notable things happened today? To be notable is to stand out. Days that blend into each other often offer little that is notable. It could be that what was notable was that you got up from your chair at least ten times. As I look back on […]
