Sometimes the present can feel frustrating; I fall into the trap of comparing myself to other people I see, and wonder if I took a "wrong turn" in life; I worry that I am missing out on something ( Read more... )

Quick post to mention a few causes I have an interest in.

First off, the National Hospice Lottery, which I must have mentioned in my old blog, and I really need to find out how I'm doing ( Read more... )

Taekwon-do last night unexpectedly included a lot of shuttle runs, which were good for fitness. I walked home, trying not to rush, with the usual pauses to ensure I was socially distanced where necessary, and found that I was three minutes off completing the "Move in Merino" challenge on Strava ( Read more... )

I'm doing a lot of thinking about self-care this afternoon, particularly after a morning that got a bit hectic ( Read more... )

I sign up for a lot of challenges on Strava, but I decided to do a couple more, feeling like a glutton for punishment ( Read more... )
