July 2021 – I am recognizing the past year for the stressful time it has been for me. Physically and mentally, it has been present the whole year. Did I do things to help relieve it? You bet I did! I walked more with our puppy, I read more books for recreation vs learning, I began light weightlifting again (this began as Physical Therapy for my shoulder after surgery, but it has reminded me how much I love to do this, and how relaxed I feel after!).
