I spent a lifetime in San Antonio last summer. That sounds kind of odd, but it’s really how it feels when I think back. My life changed in that town. Much of the changes came from a relationship I built with my husband’s uncle, David. Uncle David was in the nursing home when I arrived, […]
Read MoreIt hit me like a (pardon the cliche’) ton of bricks. I have been getting ticked off and aggravated by the smallest things. It’s been going on for a month or so, and I just have hardly taken a breath to figure out why. This morning, in the middle of a meeting with people who […]
