When a Tree Falls

Do you ever feel like you are talking and no one is listening?  It’s kind of like the saying, “if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, did it make a sound?”  Sometimes when you are speaking and the person or persons to which you are talking are […]

Fridays

What makes Friday’s so great?  You awake in the morning to get ready for work, and then you realize “it’s Friday” and you start to get some excitement and energy.  Fridays are great for many, because it is the last day of the work week and then you get two days to yourself.  The question […]
