And one day you step back and realise you’re busting your butt and getting nowhere and you still haven’t got those projects off the ground. You notice the date you first thought about those projects and time between then and now just seems to have disappeared.

Secure Browsing Not sure about you, but I reckon I take the web for granted these days. I shouldn’t. Nor should you.
