    @rainyrae ~ stay strong. Care taking is very stressful. I hope the visiting nurses start soon and take this pressure away from you. It's really too much working as a nurse and then coming home to continue nursing. I understand that you have to do what you have to do...but hoping you get some relief soon.

    Took a beautiful walk on the Airline Trail today. After the snow we had a couple inches of rain; it washed all the snow away - but made for some great waterfalls on the trail; I counted seven.

    Thank you! I’m actually retired now as of last June. Caring for her was a big part of that decision as I retired young and it was very much too stressful to work all day and to come home and continue nursing at home. Thank you for your kind words!

    I love reading your THOUGHTS each day!

    Made it to the gym and got in a 45 minute swim in the pool. It’s really a great stress reliever for me never mind all the health benefits! 😁. Now, to clean the house and get the laundry done before the next snow storm hits tonight and tomorrow. Have a great day everyone!

    I especially enjoy my swims when there is no one else in the pool. I blast my ‘80s music and zone out while doing laps. Definitely a stress relief. I am going in 30 minutes for my swim.

    I guess I must have looked pretty awful when I went to the doctors yesterday. He told me to go home and get some sleep. I took his advice and slept for 2 hours. I did wake up early again this morning and my sleep was not the greatest (pain) but I am going to the pool right when it opens at 8 am. My cousin is being buried today and I would give anything to be home with the family.

    Happy FriYAY!

    Motto: 🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!

    Recap: If I could just get those steps up. So close...Morning upper body workout and 40 minutes on the treadmill. It's snowing like crazy here. When I worked out, there was at least 5 inches and that was 5:30am this morning! It's not scheduled to stop until tomorrow noon!!🙂

    - THOUGHTS: This statement blew me away in another group. We always say we will get back on track while our mindset should be not to let things get "off track" in the first place ..consider this: You know, no train conductor would ever say "oh it's ok if the train derails... we can get it back on track later."

    @lindamtuck2018 ~ Nice loss and yes, rest is important and glad you took your doctors advice. Listen to your body as well, it will tell you. Have fond memories of your cousin today, you are there in spirit. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

    @jimboden3 ~ Nice one. You can do it...2 in a row!!!

    I’m sorry you can’t be with your family today! I’m sure it’s very difficult. Prayers for peace for you today.

    Yikes 2024 is going in the wrong direction! And this deep freeze sure is not helping. All I want to do is hibernate and eat comfort food.
    Now that I've noted that its time to move forward. Here's to a good next week. And stay warm people
