I lost my sense of taste and smell this weekend.  Imagine my misery.  I ate and was not satisfied.  I turned the humidifier on and could not smell the Vicks.  It made me think about the little things I take for granted.
For example, my son always asks for a kiss, then proceeds to request a hug right after that.  Sometimes it irks me, because he asks at the worst possible time…like when I have to go to the bathroom, or when I’m rushing out the door to get to work.  …

You’ve got to watch the video to understand where I’m coming from. I’m in the same position as Indiana Jones. Only, I’m scared like a little punk, y’all. I can’t even lie. I’m stuck in between what was, looking at what will be, and for some reason, I can’t find the path in between. Oh, don’t get me wrong…I BELIEVE with all that is in me. But for some reason, success and taking the next step evades me. What’s holding me back? What’s preventing me from taking the …
