Favorite Quote from a Book
This is not a news day that leaves me feel hopeful, but these quotes do. “ The whole of life is just like watching a film.

What I do to recharge
Nature is always my first choice to recharge. I have several spots I like to visit. Usually walks, but lately I’ve gotten more interesting in cycling. Currently, I just have a regular street bicycle, but I am saving up to get a hybrid road bicycle ( and helmet!) to travel further. Once things open upContinue reading “What I do to recharge”
