I am already forgetting some tiny details that were striking at the time. I’m including things like “new buzz words, what sold out at the stores, funny memes, what I’m grateful for, home improvement projects. I made banana ice cream using this recipe for Mom since the local place is closed. Hard to find flavor.

Life in Focus2020 Goals
I am becoming a morning workout person which surprised me. April workout totals: Total: 18 out of 30 days – 58% of days worked out. 11 of 18 were strength workouts. Having a blast exploring new trails within a new conservation land property that’s open to the public near my house. It’s so so peaceful and beautiful there. Design progress- I have a mitt pattern almost ready for test knitting. Stay Out of the Forest which was already published and 2 designs in Point/Counterpoint. Sales are going really well! What’s helping during Stay at Home: All in April prompts from Corinne Crabtree. Watch video from Corinne Crabtree here . Daily four-point check-in:

Quote of the WeekSharon Salzberg on faith and keeping an open mind: “It’s not the existence of beliefs that is the problem, but what happens to us when we hold them rigidly, without examining them, when we presume the absolutely centrality of our views and become disdainful of others.” —— Thank you for tuning in.
