Making the Commitment

So, you sat down with yourself and discussed the pro’s and con’s. Maybe you’re like me and grabbed your notebook and took way too long to write down each itty bitty pro and con in bullet-list form. Maybe you’re like my hubs and enter reminders into your Blackberry or iPad. Regardless, you know all the options. The “should I or shouldn’t I”‘s were debated. They wrestled around in your mind and heart. You know the answer. You know what should be...

Thankful Thursday // 03

But if I were to be very honest...
