October 23, 2025 at 5:59 amWalking and looking at murals sounds like a wonderful experience! I checked out the website, and they look amazing – probably even more so in person. Your trackers are so fun! I didn’t start one this month, as I still feel like I’m learning the ropes of Peloton. I’m having a blast with it!

October 24, 2025 at 7:41 amMaybe it’s just me, but you and your mom have very similar smiles. I am so glad you were able to hang out and walk with her when you were not feeling well. And that you were able to join your Serenity Sunday group after they left. Goodbyes stink, particularly when the time together is so good for the heart and soul.
