A Story About 2 Pebbles! The difference between Logical Thoughts & Lateral Thoughts!

Hey folks, just the other day I was enjoying a pre-Valentines Day/anniversary brunch with my daughter Arhonda and her husband Kevin.  By the way, my daughter is a Veterinarian who just opened a new animal hospital in the Midtown Atlanta area.  Excited about her new venture, the conversation soon focused on the hospital. 

It is very apparent that this was a daunting task that has weighed heavily on her.  She had come a long way through construction but there was still a ton of things that demanded her attention.  One thing about Arhonda that you can always count on is her big infectious smile that seems to warm even the coldest of strangers.  The smile today was gripped by fatigue, worry and stress.  I could tell by her tone of voice that she had really hoped to just enjoy a great meal and engage in much lighter conversation.
