I woke up yesterday morning to a New Year. All the clichés sang out their tunes... a clean slate, a second chance, a do-over, a new story, new year/new you. Resolutions. Commitments. Disciplines. Covenants. "Every...
Then There Were Two
We pulled out the Christmas decorations on Tuesday. Finally. (I'm an 'after Thanksgiving and not a moment sooner' kind of gal.) And as I waded through the closet I got more and more excited....
