I don’t think I’m alone in despising Mondays. It seems to be the slowest day of the week. Daylight Savings doesn’t help that either! It’s nearly 8PM but Ray is still not home from work. All of these factors are making this Monday drag. I hope he is not late tomorrow, because we’re not passing…

Skimming through the headlines can make one feel quite hopeless. There are 30 dead here and 4 there. Someone is making tearful pleas to viewers "If you’ve seen her or have any information, please contact the police! We just want our baby back." Famine, war, murder, kidnapping… These are what the headlines are made of. Bad news. When…
