I think everyone needs to spend more time being grateful and appreciative of the life we have, no matter what life that may be. The idea that IT CAN ALWAYS BE WORSE is so damn true. There are people that have it better than me, but guess what; there are people (millions and … [Read more...]
Climbing The Ladder To What?
I had a recent conversation with a friend about how it seems that we are always working toward the next rung on the ladder instead of enjoying and appreciating the rung we’re on. I’d be interested in seeing some percentages on people that live in the United States that are truly … [Read more...]
Discomfort Zone
