Little Things

For the first time in a long time I feel semi-well rested. I find it amazing how becoming a parent basically means you enter the land of zombiedom.

Goodbye 2015…You were good to me

Every year on the first I feel sad. I am not sure why because it is usually a time of happy and new beginnings. I guess I begin to question my life and really ponder the impact I made in the year past. Did I make a difference in someones life? Did I fail? Did …
