What's what: April

A chill in the air - but the sun says SPRING. So here's my little corner of the world for this month (so far):

• Celebrate my Mom's birthday with a simple get-together with family
• Continue the 16-week inner healing program of which I'm a part at my church. 
  Many people ask whether I'm enjoying the process. That's probably not the adjective I'd choose.
  Yet I'd say I'm very glad that I'm taking it.
• Visit Wolfe Island (off Kingston) for a few days to rest at my friend Julia's parents' farm.
• Some more medical visits.
  This time to do with my gut health. Which interestingly enough also plays a part in mental health.
• Continue with the leave of absence from work. Mixed emotions as I enter the second month of time away, but am glad for this clear timeline of taking care of myself to be in a better place for going back to serve my church community.
• Coffee dates with friends. Because. Coffee. And Friends.
• Reading. Lots of it. I still have 5-8 books on the go!
  It's a mix of fiction, self-help, and spiritual practices.
  
• New sofa is coming this week! 
  Cue happy dance! I've been holding off until my tax return to get one and the time has come.
• Intentional movement (almost) every day.
  Right now that's been either walks or yoga. I'm enjoying going gentle on myself but still staying active.
