I learned a lot from the challenge.  Today (Thursday) I also learned that I couldn't post yesterday's achievements!  But still I'm very glad to have participated.  Thank you.

The dashboard sees to be subtracting points. Whoa! I really have been trying to meet my goals!

By writing down what I am grateful for, it helps keep my thoughts on what I have, rather than what is lacking in our country right now.

The big thing about challenges is that changing old habits is a matter of inconvenience, in breaking free of the assumptions like what to do with free time, how to do routine tasks like taking a shower with a new timeframe, getting outside in nature more, and driving less.  Those changes take a higher resolve and determination to be done.  I do feel some pride in being able to recall the new script most of the time, although when more stress was involved, like extra added responsibilities, there were a few days I forgot the changed habits.  

If you haven’t seen the documentary Queen of the Sun, I highly recommend you do!  🐝👑☀️

These nutria at Ridgefield are neither native nor cute - but I suppose the raptors enjoy them!

Here are some snaps from Ridgefield: 

Started studying Tai Chi this week, in an effort to boost physical activity and learn a new form of meditation. I've just gotten over a pinched nerve in my neck, which limited my exercise for nearly two months. I feel so much better getting back to my regular routine!

Disappointed to learn that we can no linger recycle clam shell containers, because China stopped buying them.There must be  better solution than shipping them to Asia! Now buying loose lettuce, but stumped on berries, which I love all year around , even though I know they are not local all the time.
