Slow, but done

May 9, 2023 by Beth

A story of how steady persistence still sees things to completion, I suppose. That’s sort of the theme of my life right now; everything has to happen so slowly, it feels like nothing is moving at all. But at least I know that’s not true – I just finished a… Read the rest...
