You're not ever going to be able to do enough to make yourself happy. There will always be chances you miss, questions you could have followed up on, conversations you could have had, things you could have done, or moments you are sure could have gone just a little bit better if given an opportunity … Continue reading Could Have, Should Have {The Kind Side}

Created {The Kind Side}
God made you you. Go be you. You might have to chase down what that means, or simply walk alongside, sneaking a glance out of the corner of your eye, but the now-hazy specifics are left up to you.

I like the little bit of history and color it adds to my inherited abundance of hostas, the odd plant that likes shade, but hardly flowers.
