On the flight to Florida yesterday, a strong storm rocked the airplane. The pilot aborted our landing twice as high winds pushed the plane sideways and lightning filled the sky.

With every step, no regret. I love my life.

Now I have a portable charger to bring with me on trips and a standard charger to leave at home! Intuition?

I thought about putting a stop payment on the check and then calling the lawyer the following day to try and talk him out of making me pay full price for his services. I got as far as clicking on the “Stop Payment on a Check” link where I needed to fill out the information. But then something told me to stop.
