I was ready for the challenge to change. I woke up determined to make it happen – to get it all done. I had a plan. I had a schedule. I had a list. I even had charts. NOTHING would get in the way of me doing all that I had planned. Except maybe all…
Today it hit me – one of those migraine headaches that leaves me wishing I could pop my head off completely. It got so bad at one point that I was dreaming about having a bad migraine. I contemplated all the different ways I might make it stop, but realized that being still and quiet…
