I was thinking about this a couple of days ago—how easy it is to try to control everything, to make life go my way, and how often that leads to stress and frustration. And it reminded me of…you guessed it…one of my favorite quotes: “There are only two kinds of people: those who say to…
Thankful Thursdays
Firstly, our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the devastating wildfires, as well as the responders working tirelessly to combat them.

I feel like I just posted yesterday, and now here we are again—Thursday already. Time seems to fly by faster each week.
