Everyone around the world, come on! Throughout the years, the 5% Challenge has become known as the 5% Seasonal Challenge. Recently, we have revamped the Challenges. We still focus on exercise and 'a race' where the teams compete to reach a collective goal first, but we have also pivoted toward practicing 'Healthy Habits'…

Yes, CL

@Dianedoessmiles1 - TY and Happy LAST DAY to you too! We finished strong with a 7-day DANCE PARTY over at Shape Shifters! Tbh, after our trip to AZ and the work done there, I'm feeling total rest up mode. Thankful for a relaxed in-between challenge falling at just the right time! Here is Tucker to sing us out of Winter…

@kurtize - so happy to hear you made Florence. Wise to continue right sizing. Less really is more and it's so easy to accumulate stuff, it seems to me anyhow. @dianedoesmiles1 - Great the DR has you feeling better and sounds like a good path. Yay! Validation that exercise will help your heart, priceless! Back to routines…

Hi friends! There's no place like home.... Smooth sailing and we cruised on in Thursday night. Great trip for sure. Resting up as we both got a bug, just on fringe of being down sick for our return. Feeling better today and getting back to routines. I LOVE and missed THEM! Wishing you all a great weekend!

@ladyluk1 - Barb, Dear friend, sending strength and so much hope for your continued improvement. Be strong. Much love your way.

UPDATE: From a couple of days ago: Oh my! I'm in a whirlwind. Over a week in motels and helping our kids along with time to play with GK's ended too soon. Our return in our camper has been rustic. Made it to the coast last eve. Great nights rest at the coast, love our new mattress. It was so needed after 3 days on the road…

@patti241- Good day. @Dianedoessmiles1 - nice for you with the harbor lights to set your LR aglow. That is cool. You sure are looking good with that cute kitty. We will take pics and be cautious. Got the mattress rolled out and expanding. We will pack up Tuesday, for an early Wednesday start. @Kurtize - Love your…

@cruising132 - beautiful blanket. Very inspiring. @Dianedoessmiles1 - Thanks. Feel the same of you x 10. As of today papashop is calling our return home JDawgs birthday adventure. Lol - my favorite kind of trip. Feeling very blessed to be ready for the experience! @Ronnie_happy2ranch - Very grateful for warm weather away…

@patti241 - Good morning. 6" of snow is about what we have on ground at home. We left and missed the storm. Tee hee! Mid 70s here today. @Dianedoessmiles1 - Agree that gal connections are important, especially as we age. My BFF is actually a former Sparker who didn't make the move to MFP. We text daily and keep each other…

🌹Happy Galentine's Day, all. 💘🍎🎉

Woo HOO to all teams. Awesome!

@kurtize - 🤍 filling up with goodness. Going to need that extra love and energy for grandkids today. @Patti241 - how are you doing? Things getting to a new normal with your friend? @Tabatha_Cain - Good on you, feeding and buying some good help for your move. Sounds like you've about got it handled. Great job! We're on the…

@Tabatha_Cain - WooHoo! Moving day! Your pets will be right at home with you in no time. The stress behind you now. Have fun! @Dianedoessmiles1 - beautiful picture! We got a call from our DS in AZ. We are headed down for a visit and to help him out. Wouldn't you know, more snow than all winter this morning! We'll pull out…

@Ceriusly1 - Thank you. WAY TO GO, everyone!

@Patti241 - Good day, my friend. @Dianedoessmiles1 - LOL - saw the city trucks dropping gravel & de-icer getting ready for a big snow dump while on our walk. Only got a dusting...Next chance Friday. Love to see the fresh new fallen snow. Not happening here yet. Love your cats are keeping you cozy!

@Go_Gal_Grow Thanks so much for sharing. Way to glow, gal! Very inspiring story of a healthy journey.

@Tabatha_Cain - Excited for you this week. Congrats on closing! Have a fun time moving this week. Very nice.

@patti241 - Good morning! @Kurtize - our first snowfall comes today. Yay! Can't leave winter behind until.... @Dianedoessmiles1 - We ordered her a fitting 100th birthday bouquet. She loves purple and roses and flowers so I'm excited she'll get it today a day early. I often send her cards. She always loves them too! My list…

@Patti241 - oh what GOOD NEWS! He must be so happy. You too! @Kurtize - Amen to February! @Dianedoessmiles1 - looks like we are getting our snow - up to 7" forecast - on DMIL's birthday. We will not be traveling to see her and family on her day. Turns out having her "gender-reveal" party last July was a great idea! LOL.…

@DNjoys - Amen! Thank you for sharing. @patti241- same. I'm wintered out and we haven't even had snow! Forecast for this week. I can see an end coming and I'm grateful for that. @dianedoessmiles1- My DMIL is a self described - Tough old bird. A God fearing Michigan farm girl - At peace with her existence, she's always…

@Kurtize - That's such an awesome deal for you. Florence is wonderful. Best wishes as you make the move. @Patti241 - That is good news for him. Did you have to move to the other hospital? Prayers for you both. @Dianedoessmiles1 - same ole dawg here. Slower, yet still moving! WOOF! Got the puzzle done. Cute, food trucks on…

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Glad to hear of a quick rebound. Now hurry and shake that bug! @Patti241- just catching up. What's the latest on your friend? Hugs and prayers for you. @Kurtize - So glad to hear of your DH's good news. Where in Oregon are you moving? We live in EO on the Columbia River near Pendleton.

@patti241 - so sorry to hear your friend is still no better. Sending you some love and good energy. My day started strong and then I fizzled out. Both papashop and I are dragging around today. Going to call it a day and hope for tomorrow. My best to all of you.

Dropping by to say, "hi!". Papashop and I are learning to line dance. We want to be able to dance to our DGS's music when we see him. With 4 left feet, we are slowly getting better. 🎶 @Dianedoessmiles1 - YouTube has great dance moves, we are able to watch and learn. New tricks for old dogs!

@Patti241 - Prayers for you and your friend. It must be exhausting for you - back and forth to hospital with slow progress. Hang in there. @Kurtize - Animal blankets here too! Sure do appreciate them this time of year. @Dianedoessmiles1 - Snow report?

@patti241 - Good morning. How is your friend today? You getting enough rest? @Dianedoessmiles1 - We have a smart TV and an antenna for local channels. No FOX - we don't pick it up here in our area. Their signal is out of range - over a big hill from us. I agree the new cheapy antennas do work good. Our DS came for the…

@Patti241 - Good morning, Patti. Very sorry to hear your friend is back to ICU. 🙏 Please take good care. @Tabatha_Cain - Good luck with your upcoming move. Hope for it to all go smoothly for you. As for the closing dates wonky, go with your gut feelings. You know best. @Dianedoessmiles1 - Snow it is then! Yes Papashop is…

@Kurtize - More wise words. @Dianedoessmiles1 - Love youTube for learning. Thought I should post this while thinking of it. You know the HALT system for hunger? Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired? My issue with it - It has negative words I don't want to advertise. I had an enlightened moment. LOL The fridge with our new…
