I can feel their eyes on me, probably wondering why a healthy looking young woman is on a first name basis with the secretary, why she’s there on a weekday morning, and what could possibly be wrong with her.

I'm Tired
I’m tired. I think many, if not most, of the people reading this can relate. We’re all tired on some level. Physically, emotionally, spiritually; we’re tired.
