Photo by ProfAlliRich "Do what you can do, with what you have, where you are." Theodore Roosevelt It's been a few weeks since the last post about overcoming obstacles. And that post was about getting back on track when life happens and throws you off of your path toward making positive changes in your life. Over the weekend, my hubs fixed our toilet. He installed a replacement kit inside the tank of the toilet. Except, unfortunately, it's still not really fixed. But, he worked on … [Read more...]
Overcoming Obstacles – When Life Happens
