Lisa-Jo Baker began this week’s Five Minute Friday with the words: “We tend to think that starting is the hardest part of the story. I think it’s finishing”, and I agree wholeheartedly. This is something I have been mulling over a lot lately. How difficult it is to move on from a stage of your …
Hey Friends! I am linking up with 5 Minutes For Mom at www.5minutesformom.com/93321/ww-harrison-hot-springs/ for Wordless Wednesday!
