Good morning!
My fascination with the brain continues to draw me into researching many aspects of how we think, feel, and act.

If I told you my story
You would hear Hope that wouldn't let go
And if I told you my story
You would hear Love that never gave up

You would hear Life, but it wasn't mine

Good morning!
As I sat looking out at the rain pouring down outside our patio windows, I was all-of-a-sudden flashing back to last February when we were having all kinds of water related issues here. That all came on the heels of my husbandβs surgery and I remember that overwhelming feeling.
