Welcome to from Survive to Thrive: Week 25.I felt balanced and tranquil this week. I wrapped up April's Happiness Project activities, colored, hunted for puzzles online, and got back into the running groove.
Let's review my week...
Happiness Project
I did my April Happiness Project reflection this weekend. The theme for April was Friends, and my resolution for the month was to reach out to a friend or family member each day to connect. I did this most days, and found the connection to be especially helpful during this pandemic-prompted period of sheltering-at-home.
Towards the end of the month I also included co-workers in my outreach and again I found it especially rewarding. It also gave me a head start on next month's theme, which is Work.

Play
This week play centered around coloring and LEGO. I also found myself thinking about jigsaw puzzles and decided I wanted to incorporate them into my rotation. I discovered that they are in high demand right now and hard to find online. I finally found a good selection at Barnes and Noble and ordered a couple.

Fitness
I started my 5k training program this week. Overall it went well, although I pushed it a little too far and fast on Wednesday when I ran a Virtual 5k for Earth Day. I was a bit more cautious the rest of the week.

Tomorrow was supposed to be the kickoff night for the Women's Training Program. I love this program, and have done it every year since 2014. I started as a participant and have been a coach in recent years. I feel like there is a big hole without it. I miss the camaraderie of the women and being enveloped in an environment of support and inspiration.
