I have realized that during the summer, certain changes happen.
If I’m not conscious about my diet and lifestyle, I may drink more alcohol and eat more sugar and fruit. I probably do this to cool my body down, and enjoy extra time off.… Read the rest
Helen Keller was one of the most amazing people I’ve ever heard about. I cannot imagine living without my sight alone, never mind hearing and speaking.
