The perceived wisdom is that it promotes health and happiness to exercise in nature so i took heed yesterday and today and walked by the river for an hour with my dog. We saw some power unicycle scooters -- i didn't even know that was a thing.

I tried to be mindful and did notice how quiet it was. Green grass is peeking thru in spots. On the tops of the trees there are buds. There is snow in the forecast tho. I'm grateful it was nice weather this weekend, lots of sunshine. I'm glad i got out.

Three of my six weekly ZOOM events were cancelled due to Easter, so it's been a challenging time, and i broke my abstinence and had a pop. It was really good tho. I just got tired of resisting and gave in. It was the seventh day. Well, i'll keep trying. Quitting just before a major holiday was not ideal, but there's never a good time to quit. I just have to persevere.
