How are you doing my friend?
I'm checking in to see how you are doing? It's March and soon we'll see signs of spring, so say I'm giddy about that would be a huge understatement! On a recent walk I spotted a little yellow crocus coming up at my neighbor's home, I really need to plant some so I can enjoy those! When I got back I went around my yard and discovered teeny tiny buds on my trees, the world will come alive in a few weeks in my area of Northern Virginia.
How are you doing on staying healthy? I have been doing yoga every day for about 3 months now, I can put pressure/weight on my wrists (for those new here, I broke both my wrists & other bones 8 months ago), my wrists are sore, but it is doable and cleared by my Occupational therapist. It has be glorious to be able to take walks again, even when a bit chilly, it feels good to be outside. I also need to build back up my strength. It is amazing how sitting for 6 months takes way so much of your abilities.
