Tonight I watched the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins play each other for a chance to play in the playoffs against the Seattle Seahawks.  Entering this game, you had the 2011 Heisman trophy winner with a sprained knee, and a rookie sixth-round draft pick Alfred Morris taking on Tony Romo, the all -time passing leader for the Dallas Cowboys.  Result? A…

Even when family members become impatient with her or one another, she still sees the glass half full, believing that wishes do come true.

Where does this attitude go when you become an adult? It gets buried under responsibilities, distractions, and the…

I finally looked up from my desk and realized it was almost Christmas and I am way behind.
