Sunday afternoon, I'm on a break at work.....had a peaceful evening last night.....got good sleep....nice morning....life, if I stop to appreciate it, is good.... My bf "sneaked out" yesterday to...

One thing I have learned....is that I have to quit comparing myself to others, and take my life as is.....walking forward, not looking to the back or to the sides.  At times I find myself...

Today is Thursday....Thursday...one of my "trigger" days....when I never failed to go gambling... Yesterday, one of my employees told me her mother had just won a HUGE jackpot at a local...
