You are so organized, I'm jealous! Love that you follow through with updates in your blog.
ReplyDeleteIt helps that I get sent a reminder to join in this blog share post!
DeleteI like a plan and by and large you have made a great start! At least this way you are aware if things are starting to slide. Friends and family are so important but you need to prioritise those health issues for the sake of your future well-being.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely right about prioritizing health!
DeleteThank you for joining me. Hope some of the others link-up, too.
ReplyDeleteYou have done so well. I am so impressed with the social butterfly you are morphing into. We went to a party for Valentine's Day and I thought to myself - again - how I need to get over being so afraid of hosting. I can host family without issue but friends and 'friends' are another thing. So proud of your accomplishments in this area.
Tacos at the pier and the museum date sound like fun. Interested in your book club and the ESO Torch level. Might be an good blog post. Can't remember if you have shared the books you've read so far. I have about a half-dozen in the works right now. Need to wind a few up. Hard to keep my characters straight.
Have you had physical therapy for your back/spine/neck issues? I thought my PT was EXCELLENT. And they showed stretches I could do on my own. I haven't had issue since!
Thank you for joining me friend. Hope you will continue with a spring bucket list on 03.21. XO
Thanks for the ideas! I have found that people are just happy to be invited to a get together and don't mind bringing something to make it happen. Still it is a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteYou're making great progress on your list, Juhli. I agree that regular massages are wonderful--enjoyable and good for you! You can't beat that combination!
