Happy Mother’s Day! I have to say, as hard as it is to be away from my kids during these challenging times, I can only imagine how hard it is to be staying safer at home with kids of any age. So, to all of you with babes in arms, toddlers in tow, children under foot, or older kids longing to see their friends, I am in awe of you.
Love these peachy begonias!
Well, here we are. It’s the first weekend in May and, at least in Virginia, we are still staying at home. But we also are starting to look ahead. We may not know when restrictions will be lifted just yet, but state and local governments and businesses are trying to figure out how to re-open safely and what life will look like in the weeks and months to come. Personally, I’m grateful to be watching from the sidelines for now, and bracing for a new reality.

While other social events are canceled, isn’t it great we still can get together at home for our Ultimate Coffee Date? The virtual get together Deborah and I host is fully compliant with all social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders. Now more than ever, it’s important to stay connected and keep in touch.

Back in the day, there were “Wordless Wednesday” posts–just a picture or two with no explanation. That was too hard for me, but I enjoyed writing Almost Wordless Wednesday posts–a picture or two with a bit of explanation. That’s the approach I’m taking today with my rainbow scavenger hunt recap.
Thanks again to Judy for the rainbow scavenger hunt idea.
One reason I came to love my fitness studio classes so much is that they get me to try things I never would try on my own and push myself harder than I would at home. That said, I am fully aware that I will regret a workout if it leads to injury, and have no shame in pulling back or modifying an exercise I think is too much for me. This week I learned I need to be just as wary of overdoing it at home.
