It’s easy to get caught up in…and overwhelmed by the details of life. Next thing you know…you aren’t having fun any more. This is something that my wife and I combat against . One of our main goals (developed from our end of the year ‘get away’), is to make sure we are having fun day to day. Here’s how: Keep trying new...
