What The Response To Harvey Says About Our Country

What The Response To Harvey Says About Our Country

I don’t watch the news very often because much of it consists of politicians bickering like children. It seems like the only thing that’s consistent in our country is that it’s divided and in shambles. Violence and hate have owned the headlines.

Then Hurricane Harvey hit.

15 Things I Know Now That I'm 37

37 doesn’t feel as old as what my 15 year old self would have me believe.
The best friends I had when I was 17 are still my best friends.
Friends I’ve made in adulthood are fewer and farther between but they are genuine and life-giving.
Having kids has made me a better person.
Going to counseling doesn’t mean you’re crazy, or weak, or on the brink of divorce.

But how ARE you?

But how ARE you?

Sweet friends, how have you been? I’ve missed you. I’m coming out of the fog of illness and I’m beginning to see just how lonely January has been. When I say I’ve been sick ALL of January, I’m not exaggerating. From a cough that has hung on for 4 weeks, to the flu, to bronchitis, I’m officially over this month. I wanted to quit Christmas just over a month ago and now I want to quit January 2017. Did I mention I also missed out on a ski trip to Lake Tahoe? Yeah, there was that. It’s been an isolating few weeks and I think I’m finally ready to reemerge back into the world. And remember when I made the month long resolution to be off social media?
