DEEP GRATITUDE FOR THE SIMPLE THINGS

If you have been following me for awhile, you know I have survived some pretty serious emotional breakdowns over these last two years.  In fact, I feel like I am in the middle of one right now.  This past Thursday, I found out that my landlord has sold the townhouse I am currently living in and [...]
