It’s the little things that make a big difference in your life, and exercising is no different.  Now I’m the first to admit that I’m not fond of breaking a sweat, plus I work at a computer for most of the day.  I get very little exercise if I don’t try hard. So I need to squeeze in exercising whenever and however I can find it.

Clean out and organize the garage. You may be thinking, that’s nothing. I do that all the time.  Well, I don’t. In fact, it’s been over 10 years since that garage has had a thorough purging.  So on a hot, dry, wind-less day, I spent my Saturday reorganizing and purging my long-time garage accumulations.

I’m a bit late this month with my Fix-It-Up Project.  It’s already June, and May just slipped away.  But at least I squeezed it in during the first week of June, so maybe you’ll forgive me.  May was filled with graduations, a graduation party, my birthday, planting flowers, and Mother’s Day.  It was a good month.

On April 22, we will celebrate Earth Day, a global holiday to bring awareness to how we treat our planet and its gifts. A day intended for renewing ideas, educating ourselves, respecting our planet through recycling, reusing and protecting our resources for the betterment of all who inhabit this earth. Sounds good, but how far have we come since the first Earth Day on March 21, 1970?
