As a child I spent as many hours as I could outside. I remember my parents having to call me to come in when dinner was ready or when it was about to get dark. I would reluctantly obey and enter our mudroom to take off my clothes and dry my soaking... Be Your Own Best Friend. By : Lance Beggs How do you be your own best friend? It’s simple.
