Joyful Moments
I confess…I make the HUGE mistake of not living in the moment (my bad). When I’m at the swings with the kids, I’m mentally making a grocery list. When we are having dinner together, I quiz them down about where I’m supposed to be chauffeuring them over the weekend. When it’s just me and the…
