With Heavy Heart

No Friday Focus on Friday 13th

A pair of glasses bringing a blurred scene into focus.

Hello, friends. That's right. There is no Friday Focus this week. I got home from work Tuesday evening, knowing I was getting sick and it got worse from there. I wound up sleeping for twenty-four hours and woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a train. So, needless to say, I've missed everything …
