Sunday Thankfuls.
The first Sunday of November! How is that possible?! I've been saying it for months, but now it is true: Christmas is just around the corner! But this morning, I am focusing on things for which I am thankful.My Beautiful, Green-Eyed Girl. Loving, compassionate, stressed, anxious, hilarious. She was cursed with all my bad traits [...]
Acupuncture and Mean Min.
I have been, sporadically, continuing with the acupuncture. If you know anything about Eastern Medicine, and the only real thing I know is what Thomas, the acupuncturist has told me and basically that is: "Western Medicine has been around for a few hundred years...Easter Medicine has been around for thousands of years," than you know [...]
