Daily Prompt 4/1/24
I think pretty much any commonly kept animal makes a great pet. I think the better question is what kind of pet suits a person’s lifestyle and personality. If you want a pet but are allergic to furry things, obviously cats and dogs would be out, but maybe fish and/or reptiles could work out. Or…

I had to disappear for awhile. Not in my “real life”, but away from my blog and from the hard things I fight in my head. I’m still not 100% over whatever it is that has been bothering me, but today I decided I was ready to come back. I am not sure if it’s…

the year ahead
This year is off to a great start. I feel really inspired and happy so far. I’m eagerly awaiting the stsaff applications to open for the camp I want to work at, lacrosse practice starts this week, and I feel energized. That’s rare for me this time of year, as I’m usually down and sad…
