Today was my last day of research for my next book. It was a good day of learning about the history of my hometown. I believe I have enough to at least start the outline of my book.

The Trip Home Part 3
Today’s journey was to Thermopolis, home of the World’s Largest Hot Springs. I really don’t think it’s the world’s largest, but I’m not going to argue!

But I believe, like many survivors, I was stuck emotionally at the age whenContinue reading “Emotional Immaturity”
Moments of Frustration
Nobody enjoys frustration, but we all understand that it is a part of life. I wish that I had a more positive outlook when it comes to the more difficult times of life, but I really don’t. I had some frustrating moments today, and I know that I didn’t handle it in the best wayContinue reading “Moments of Frustration”
