Seizing family time one dinner...game night...movie at a time.
Writing. Is. Hard.
How many posts have I started with “I’m exhausted”? A billion? But, really…I am exhausted. My eyes even have that crusty feel. I’m eyeing (is that even the right spelling?) the couch wondering if I can just hurl my body…

A Passion Realized…and a Special Offer from @Yoursphere
