Yeah, I am not a Step Star this week. 😦 Or any kind of star for that matter. Sigh… However. There is reason to celebrate!

Yes, I just gave myself flowers… Lol, I do that in real life too. Buy them for myself.

I love getting flowers, and, stereotypically, I particular like roses. I like them best when a florist delivers them, although any flowers delivered are fabulous. Getting them at work used to be the BEST. But having someone bring them and hand them to me is also super lovely. When none of those things are happening, I’ll buy them myself, and they’re still an 8 or a 9 on the pleasure scale.

Celebrations aside. here are the cold facts on this week:

• Steps average: 4,365; Range: 2,300 to 7,600
• Glucose range: 135 – 142
• Sleep average: 5 hrs, 51 minutes
• Weight: 165.0

Yeah, kinda sad. But not terrible, in the greater scheme of the universe. So there’s that.

500 posts. Almost 62,000 hits. Not my most popular blog, and not even a high number of posts when you figure I started here in March, 2016. But it has meant a lot to me. Still does! Maybe more now than it had in a while. And my connections with you all are priceless.

When I go back and look at the beginning of this blog, it started with a fantasy, followed by harsh reality. There has been so much whining, or trying not to whine. Exploration. Spirituality. Struggle. And love.

“There are four questions of value in life… What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.”
