This year is not starting well.

The first of JanuaryTo begin the new year off properly, my heart was crushed. It wasn't just broken, it was smooshed rather firmly, almost ground really. The worst of it is that the itty bitty shards left over are still intent on one thing. her. . . always a 'but' isn't there ( Read more... )
