It could be the weather we get this time of year or maybe it's the alignment of the stars but I seriously feel that everything is going to be okay. The next six months are going to be intense for me. I just hope that everything that needs to happen does and things that are unexpected happen. I mean actually occur and no longer float in the little ( Read more... )

It's that time of year again. I can feel it coming, though it's a little earlier than I expected.
