Friday Roundup

Yesterday the twig was brown and bare; To-day the glint of green is there; Tomorrow will be leaflets spare; I know no thing so wondrous fair, No miracle so strangely rare. I wonder what will next be there!

Friday morn and the weather has been wonderful.  I'm loving this.  The warmth of springs makes me feel alive and I get so much energy.  So, with that in mind, I am heading off the my classes this morning for Chair Yoga, Dance, and Zumba.  Now, mind you, this is a first for me.  I usually just go on Monday and Wednesday, but figured I would give this a try.  My back and knees haven't been so good lately, but I really would like to try it.  Even if I only do the Chair Yoga and Dance.  It's important with osteoarthritis to keep the body moving, but not to the point of adding unnecessary stress.  

Good news yesterday.  Lost 2 pounds.  I was kind of anxious about getting on that scale because I did a lot of comfort eating, but I guess what saved me was the 0 point soups and salads I was having for dinner.  Plus, I don't really go for sweets.  I was eating lots and lots of fruits, all good for you, but in moderation.  So, I didn't go over goal, remain in Lifetime Status, and don't have to pay this month.  

And in closing, a few pictures I took of spring in Brooklyn yesterday.  Been waiting a long time for it, and it seems overnight the leaves started to appear.    And it was.

The leaves appeared almost overnight.
