2024 Friday Reflections #3: What Do You Have To Do?

It’s amazing how my mind can mess with me even in seemingly idyllic situations. I can still get myself really wound up about all the stuff I have to do, what I must do, even if those things aren’t work related. When I was in New Mexico it was supposed to snow 12 inches overnight […]
