A few weeks before Christmas, Time magazine began to make a weekly visit to our mailbox. When the first one arrived, I thought it was a mistake. And then the next one came and I noticed I had a year’s subscription and finally I realized someone had gifted me Time magazine for Christmas. I do not […]Read Post ›
The new year is about a week old and my annual questions are still there. Will 2018 be any different from 2017? Are there any significant changes coming in my family and other relationships?
