Experiencing the good old days while they happen
I shared earlier this year about joining Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project experience for 2019. I haven't gone after it as hard this month because I haven't entirely embraced the theme. It's 'friends' if you must know, and I find myself already pretty happy in that category. I'm a less-is-more being where relationships are concerned because...introvert, …
