When you scan through hundreds of photos they all start to look pretty unremarkable, don’t they? I thought I had so many great shots to save from my Picnik folder, but when I started going through them, I only had a few that seemed worth saving.. My son painting […]

A Heart in Pain
Several trips to the pediatrician’s office have sent me spiraling. So many bad memories in that office. To make matters worse, I also have guilt. In anger I’ve lashed out at some of the nurses. I’m sorry.”No! I said I’m not going to undress him.It’s cold in here and I […]
