Today was such a full and joyful day! With school just about to wrap up in a couple of days, we’ve decided that summer activities are going to be in full swing just about every day. The weather was beautiful, a little warm after a full day of play and recess, so we headed to one of our favorite calm spots, the library.
The library is more than just books for us it’s games on the computer, cozy reading corners, and today, even a puppet show! My granddaughter loved every second, and we checked out more books for our nightly reading routine. Watching her love reading is the sweetest thing. And while she found her favorites, I snagged five books from my own healing and mindset Wishlist books I’ve been eager to dive into, and I can’t wait to crack them open this weekend.
On the fitness front, I got in Day 11 of my movement challenge and felt amazing! I’ve been adding in stretching twice a day once in the morning and again before bed—and it’s making such a difference in how my body feels. While I was stretching, my granddaughter (as she often does!) hopped on the treadmill for a few minutes, jamming to my music. It’s the cutest thing and such a fun moment to share.
I’m also someone who hasn’t had caffeine since 2018 no soda since my 20s, no energy drinks, no pre-workout. I just don’t need it. I love the taste of coffee, so I’ll have decaf, but I’ve always been someone with natural energy… enough for two people, really! It’s something I’ve always been thankful for. No judgment to those who use it I just know my rhythm, and I roll with it.
I’m feeling strong, motivated, and full of that amazing muscle memory that kicks in when your body remembers how much it loves to move. I hope you had a beautiful Monday and that tomorrow brings you even more joy. But if it doesn’t, that’s okay too. You’re here, and that alone is everything.
Sending hugs remember to give yourself love and grace today.
