“There just are not enough hours in a day!”  I have heard that lament more times than I can count.  From women of all ages and in all stages of life.  And, no doubt, there are days – seasons even – when the demands on our time seem to be far more than what is… Read More Our Twenty-Four Hours

“Into each life some rain must fall.”  I don’t often quote Henry Wadsworth Longfellow but this quote came to mind several times this past weekend as I tried to mentally deal with the rain.  All the rain.  So.much.rain.  I’m trying to have a better attitude – replacing my complaining with thoughts more positive.  I’m not… Read More A Much Needed Umbrella
