    Just got done seeing my doctor and doing a full exam. Sounds like I need to focus a bit more on self care but at least we have a plan and I got some direction! :)

    I wanted so badly to take a long relaxing shower to start my Sunday morning but have to stay focused! If I continue each day I will develop 5 minute showers as a habit!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Go by Bike
    How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

    I definitely stop to smell the roses more walking and biking to work! I find myself stopping and taking pictures of nature and really kind of meditating on my commute. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water 5-Minute Showers
    Five minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?

    One thing I noticed, when I started to me more observant about my water usage, was that I sometimes leave the sink on when brushing my teeth. Now I am focusing on brushing my teeth without wasting more water!

      I don't always take 5 minute showers, but I try.  I agree that trying to take shorter shower makes us more observant about water usage.  I now turn off water when I'm brushing my teeth.

    I've been biking to work this summer. It's getting a bit cold out now but I'll just have to add more layers to get through October!
