Gratitude in the Dark Places
I am lying on the bathroom floor of my father in law's house at 3 am searching for gratitude. I have been violently ill for the past 4 hours with what I suspect to be food poisoning. I’m shaky, exhausted and completely thankful. Lying here I have had...
8 Re-Gifting Rules for the Holidays
