Will it be on a different day of the week than the yoga group? If so, you'll have two social activities a week.

To see if i want to participate in dance or not. I like my yoga group once a week, that for me seems the perfect amount of social activity like that. jozienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212900310477832041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-58165451208489863952023-02-01T15:13:38.399-08:002023-02-01T15:13:38.399-08:00LOL, I can balance on one leg for short periods of...LOL, I can balance on one leg for short periods of time, although I do better when I stand on my right leg than on my left! I used to be able to balance better when I took dance classes, but, it's been awhile since then. <br />If you want to try the balance wheel thing, start by figuring out what are the different areas of your life and how satisfied or dissatisfied you are with those areas, then, maybe pick 3 or 4 areas to work on. Keep asking, "Why?" "What am I trying to achieve?" "What do I need to do to achieve it?" Good luck!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-6552156435598386312023-02-01T14:49:54.562-08:002023-02-01T14:49:54.562-08:00Thank you, Debbie.

He is going to try and get the rest of the bags of gravel this week or next. :)<br />Big decluttering sessions are good if you can manage it. I have to be really in the mood for it (like I did with the garage and the shed) but, for me, most of the time, the one or two items a day tend to work the best. Or, it might be 5 items over the weekend. I seem to find it hard to go through one shelf and say it's decluttered, but, I can pick at that shelf a couple of times and then decide that it is decluttered for now. :) "Slow and steady wins the race" used to be one of my mother's favorite sayings, along with "Little drops of water, little grains of sand". :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-4518953047567808232023-02-01T11:15:05.897-08:002023-02-01T11:15:05.897-08:00ha I learn so much from my blogging community for ...ha I learn so much from my blogging community for me recent community.

January was very cold and wet here too and Mother Nature does help with plenty of rain. You did well with planting and your parkway is looking good. So pleased that your mammogram result was normal. We both have our bone strengthening infusions in February and I booked my blood test already. We have things in common in that I have to do things when I have the energy and no need for either of us to feel guilty xxEileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-67300280492843016882023-02-01T02:11:02.142-08:002023-02-01T02:11:02.142-08:00I am very impressed by your accomplishments.
