Change Is Good

It is now officially October (Or the Christmas holiday in half the stores across America) and everything is changing.  The weather is moving into fall or in full swing depending on where you are.  Kids are back in school.  It’s time to change from summer to fall/winter clothes and get ready to check the weather report so you know to prepare for wind or rain or hail or whatever.… Details

Creating Good Habits
