Spring and Community


The suddenly Spring weather is providing opportunities for connecting with my community outside. It's so nice to be able to say, "Hey, could you meet me for a walk on your lunch break?". My friend Rachel, who used to lead group fitness classes at the gym, made space in her day for a walk on Stone Dam Creek Trail. She is the one who coordinated my gym buddies to give towards a huge Visa gift card when I was diagnosed with cancer. That card made the first payment towards the many scans and surgeries and treatments, and their support encouraged and strengthened me each step of the journey.


The first bouquet of the year went to Grandma. She also has a little more pep in her step now that the weather is nicer. I love walking around Lake Conway with her on my weekly visits.


My little buddies have also enjoyed getting outside more. Lauren's kiddos bring such joy to everyone who interacts with them.


If I ever need hugs or kisses or a good laugh, this little guy always comes to my rescue.
