I’m back to double workout days!! With summer activities, I dropped the second gym for a season but I returned in full force so much so that I was sore before I even left the gym tonight. The reason for two gyms; a non negotiable for myself is 3 workouts a week. I joined a second gym to support my friend in her journey and the added benefits for myself.

This little sweetheart (although he’s not so little) was my cuddle buddy for 3 nights. He kept me warm throughout the cold nights often snuggling right into me with my arm between his legs or around his body making sure he didn’t fall off the bed and his paw in my hand. We even shared the same pillow! The little guy also lost what might have been his first puppy tooth in bed with me. Dogs give love so freely. Not only did he provide me with body heat but he warmed my heart too! 🐾

The wind blows and the water flows. No two moments are ever alike. However one thing we can count on is the sun will shine again. Sometimes it’s not for days or what sometimes feels like forever but when it does grace us with its presence it should be cherished for brightening our days and also our spirits. 💜

Keeping the line tight so the fish bite!
