I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed in myself. I thought I could do a better job with this writing thing, but sheeeesh. It's hard as hell! [Kudos to all of you hard hitting, dedicated bloggers/writers]. I really couldn't keep up and I saw my goals really weren't realistic; for me anyway. But I think… Continue reading …New Year, Same Struggles
