Intentions for the Week – Week 17 of 2020

Happy Monday, friends!

This weekend brought Cooper’s Spring Break to a close. We did some house projects, had zoom meetings with family, I finished up a lettering project and tried hard to rest my back. I’ve been starting my mornings with some deep stretching which seems to help.  I know this won’t last forever, it’s just really annoying right now.  You can really take things like BENDING OVER EASILY for granted. I hope to be able to go for a long walk this week. 

School starts again tomorrow so we’ll juggle that while working from home. I like when the days are more structured and school helps (somewhat with that). Our days are so broken up as we figure out a new normal until the end of May. I wonder what Summer is going to look like… Let’s have a moment, make a list and figure out what our Intentions for the Week are.
