Time Keep Ticking
As we draw closer to the end of the first month of the new year I’m reminded how time continues to move, unchanging. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, time is time and keeps going. This makes it one of the most valuable commodities a person can have. You don’t get more and what you have spent can never be brought back. All you can do is flow with it and use it as best you deem fit. What you do with it obviously differs from person to person given who they are and

Envy
Jen here. I'm always a little envious of people with strong family ties. I'm amazed at the people who actually enjoy being around their families, and their moms in particular.
