Being thankful in life is something that a lot of people talk a lot about, and especially at Thanksgiving. But you know, sometimes, it isn’t as easy as it looks. Or as easy as it is to say it.

Happy Independence Day! Yay for long weekends! And other random stuff.
I know it has been awhile since I have written. I just – haven’t had much to say. It has been really busy – although for the life of me, I couldn’t say what with.

In case you didn’t notice, I don’t take criticism very well. I know, IContinueContinue reading “Counting Blessings”
