Easy Way to Help #TRUCARE4TROOPS

Surviving Summer 6/12
Yesterday, I was off my rhythm. Which reminded me how incredibly important rhythm is for me. When the timing of my dishwashing routine gets wonky, the kitchen stays out of Disaster Status, but it doesn't look as nice. But I did the dishes. Sometimes, being off the ideal rhythm makes me want to throw in the towel. I think I'll wait until … [Read more...]
