Today I’m grateful for audiobooks. This one book has been dragging more than any other I’ve listened to in the past, even more than War and Peace. Despite that, it seriously came in handy this morning. You’ve had those thoughts that just wouldn’t leave you alone, right? Whatever it is keeps pestering you and pestering…
Soaking It Up
This post needs a really quick disclaimer: I’m fully aware that skin cancer is a real and dangerous possibility. With that in mind, there aren’t many things that feel as good as some quality time in the sun. The heat soaking into your skin just feels healthy. A friend and I were talking about that…

Predictable
