I got overwhelmed. I got shingles. I got down on myself. I am human. We’re all human. I’m doing my best. You’re probably doing your best too. I’m going to try again and I hope you will too.
peace
When I went to San Diego to visit my daughter the thing I was most excited about was the beach. I could not wait to get there and see the ocean and sit in the peace and soak it all in. My favorite beach….Ocean Beach. For years that was my go-to place. When I was …
