It's Ok To Be Afraid

My wife and I went on vacation 2 weeks ago. It was supposed to be a fun and enjoyable time. And to some degree, it was. But within 2 days, we each had separate family members receive bad reports from doctors.

I’d be lying if I said we didn’t panic.

New ideas.

What I do on a daily basis.
