During the pandemic, when we were all sequestered, my only outlet was connecting with friends, family and followers via social media. I got in the habit of posting something every day as I managed the stress of it all with exercise and social media posts. 

Fortunately, life has relaxed somewhat. Indeed, the stress of homeschooling has been replaced with the stress of transporting children to school and various activities. And the ease of my morning workouts has been replaced by the pressures of appearing in the office. 

Still, I rise...

I also look forward to the day when these frigid temperatures subside and are replaced with the warm, balmy days of Spring. Until they are, this photo will help me remember!
