There I was, sitting in my office at work, wondering how I could be so forgetful? I knew I had two sick parents, how in the world did I manage to make it to work without my cell phone? Worried about the type of calls I was missing, I was just about to tell my …
Grateful Moments in the Storm
Winter wonderland is in full effect outside my window. The winter storm everyone has been complaining about has finally arrived and the temperatures are below zero.
