…They say good things come in small packages. A diamond ring in a Tiffany’s box, everlasting love and cuddles from a young puppy, unconditional friendship from the 5’1” fireball you call your best friend. We find so much wonder in grandeur and greatness that we often ignore the small things in life making every day a little better. This sentiment remains when it comes to the places we choose to spend our time. Call me crazy, but I...…

…A couple of months ago, I called my dad to complain. I don’t even remember what I was calling to complain about. Before jumping into my tirade, I asked him how his day was going.
