We all have cherished dreams and goals. We make detailed plans and then put in the time, effort, and sometimes money to make them happen, with the expectation that our plans will enable us to achieve our goals and realize our dreams. And then life happens. Twenty years ago, I got…
Waiting with kids in a waiting room is nerve racking. Every silly bone comes alive in them and their ears turn off. Chairs become diving boards, coffee tables become trampolines, and magazines turn into airplanes. Out of boredom they make farting noises and fall out on the floor belly laughing.
