Even for someone who enjoys working out, it was still hard to get back into my workout routine after being away from the gym for a week or so while I was sick. I eased into my workout by doing light cardio on alternating days. Once I was feeling well enough to take the intensity […]
I have been reading a lot of textbooks lately and I missed the time where I read books for pleasure. Today got me thinking about that special book in my life. The book that I can read over and over is Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. I lost count how many times I’ve read […]
