Change always comes bearing gifts. ~ Price Pritchett It’s easy to get caught up in routine. Whether daily, weekly, or some other cycle, a pattern naturally forms itself. There are benefits to such a routine – our mind is free to focus on other things while our regular tasks are taken care of some form […]
