I have been trying and trying to write another blog entry, but the business of life has gotten in the way. This week has been especially busy, with the boys on spring break, having lacrosse practice in the evening, and me still trying to work from home. Earlier this morning, I read a very short story from 50 Things that Really Matter, and it tied directly to the blog I've been trying to write for over 2 weeks now.
