rewind

habits...like brushing teeth...so "second nature" that you no longer think about completing them, you just do them, day in and day out. they become who you are.

my ability to recall things i have said, done or even thought has drastically shrunk with, eh hem, age!
so, to remind myself of what i am striving for and WHO i am serving...
