esb- I didn't know about my profile. I think I fixed it. Thanks to all. I have a hard time putting up pictures of myself. A huge self-doubt thing I'm trying to get past.
I think a lot. When I don't understand something, I think about it. Lately, I've been thinking about running. Not as in, "I think I should run."

Stops at the rest area were mini adventures where we were left to explore the rocks and cactus. The house where we lived dur...
