How do you sleep? Are you a back sleeper, side sleeper, or stomach sleeper?   I never ever sleep on my stomach. I, almost ninety percent of the time, sleep on my side.

Carrying a balance every month, it seems that way.  I think its unfortunate. I prefer to pay cash if possible. Maybe its because I feel like no one is tracking me. Maybe its me not rebelling against the system.

  I wanted to follow up on Mitch’s blog on Saturday. He wrote a moving blog asking us to “pause for a moment and ask yourself what happened to you over the past week that gave you a moment of joy.”
