I was running around Thursday morning with way too much on my mind. I was stressed and anxious. I looked at my Fitbit to see how late I was going to be. Instead of giving me the time, the screen said “5 minutes.” Below that was an arrow button, prompting me to begin. I’ve only…

Our family recently got to spend an evening together watching our youngest daughter perform in her third grade musical. She was a “cute chick” who joined her friends in a chorus line of adorable, sassy and intelligent bright yellow chickens, performing a barnyard song. After the show, she asked if we could all go out…
