    This has been a fun challenge.  With spring being upon us, it has been easy to pay more attention to my outside surroundings as we've watched trees bloom and the grass begin to grow.  Makes me appreciate more of our planet than ever before.

    My family and I have been paying close attention to the various buds on the trees in our yard over the last several weeks.  It quite amazing how the buds progress and change in just a few days.  Loving spring this year!!

    I can tell where our home's drainage goes out of the immediate area but can not tell beyond that.

    What are your top 3-5 core values? How did you narrow it down to those as being your core values?

    1) my personal wellness (mind & body)
    2) appropriately balancing work and life in this work-from-home environment
    3) spending as much time outdoors as I can
    These core values are important to me during this season of life as I have found myself being sucked into depressive thoughts and actions (non-movement).  And recognizing that I have the power to make the change.

      Work/ life is so very important! We need to stop thinking that being overworked is somehow linked to success.

    The fresh air has been such a blessing.  I love the smell of outdoors after a rain and as of late, we've had a few opportunities to experience this.
