THE BALLAD OF BONNIE & CLYDE

A WEEK WITHOUT BAGGAGE
Mondays are good days to start over – to leave the baggage of last week and the weeks before behind and push ahead. The word, “motivation,” literally means to move forward. Sometimes it’s not easy to do so. We’re stuck … Continue reading
FILL ‘ER UP . . .
In the old days (how I hate that expression) filling up your car’s gas tank was so different. First, you’d pull into a “service” station and a young lad would come out dressed in a white uniform and hat. His … Continue reading

PAYING IT FORWARD . . .
