Color is chaotic. Black and white is more uniform, more mysterious and enigmatic.
Patience
These past few weeks I’ve made concentrated efforts to be more mindful of my language and attitude. I find myself swearing less (sorry Mom,) and exhibiting more patience with a lot of success. A challenge to myself is one of…
