started and ended today
I started my day in the Heartland.
I ended my day in the Northeast.
I started my day with coffee.
I ended my day with raspberries and ice cream.
I started my day with family.
I ended my day with a friend.
I started my day with hurry-up.
I ended my day with scripture.
I started my day with a book half read.
I ended my day with a book almost finished.
I started my day in my bedroom.
I ended my day in a hotel.
