50+ Weekday Check-in April 2nd, 2019
Hi there. WInter is over. I am coming out of "hibernation". I am not a grumpy bear but a well rested one. 
Spring for me is like a whole new cycle of life beginning. Soon everything will turn green. That gets me thinking about my old routines. Which ones serve me well? Which ones are time to change?
For me I am going to find more ways to expand avenues to other people. Those are important to me feeling connected to others. Even if it is only in small ways, this might help.
How do you feel as Spring appears?
What changes are you contemplating?

How do you feel as Spring appears? I like it how the different pretty colors of flowers start to grow because that means several months later then the gardens will be planted and we will soon have a lots of fresh fruits and veggies from the garden to eat.
What changes are you contemplating? Due to my ankle surgery I made a new coping skills list that I can do for things sitting around with my ankle up and not walking since it is amazing how many things we do without thinking that I have to think about not putting any pressure on my foot at all for at least 6 weeks. I am getting a lot of shows watched and looking into movies also.
Things I am going to start doing:
- Scribble/doodle on paper.
- Do a wordsearch or crossword. - Wordscapes word game on phone
- Take a nap
- Read a good book.
- Listen to music.
- aromatherapy (candle, lotion)
- Meditate.
- Paint or draw.
- send an email to friends more often
- Look up recipes
- Color.
- Put a puzzle together.
- Games - find some card games for 1 person or games on computer or phone
- Go outside and watch the birds and squirrels
@DanaMH those sound like very mindful things to do.
Hoping for a speedy recovery.
