What should we do??





Ever have a conversation with your mentee that goes like this...?
"What do you want to do today?"
*Shoulder shrug*
"I dunno, whatta you wanna do?"
I've had conversations like that many times in the past, but not anymore. I'm learning to appreciate the little things in life and enjoy living in the moment more. Too often when we think about "fun" things, we think of the expensive options like taking in a ballgame, going to a movie, or going to a concert.
