I started the Friday Firsts sections as a way of keeping track of some of my “firsts” as I dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. Things seem to be settling down, but I will keep it for now–more as a way to be aware and thankful of what is happening in my life.
Continue reading “Fitness Log #110 And Friday Firsts”Let’s be real, 2020 has not been an easy year. If you have lost your job, your health, or your loved one, what I write about today may ring hollow. For that, I apologize.
On the other hand, if you have been able to keep your health, and your job (or your finances were secure in other ways), I hope you will join me in my reflections on the many things to be thankful for in 2020. Good things that happened despite the pandemic, or maybe, even, because of it.
