“Never let the sadness of your past, and the fear of your future, ruin the happiness of your present.”

Happy Friday! It’s been one of those weeks where time seems to go by quickly. It feels as though I wake up and the next thing I know it’s dinner time. It wasn’t that I had an abnormal amount of work or things-to-do, but what I was doing seemed to take forever to accomplish. Which left me little to no time to go to the grocery store, go for a run, or read.
The pandemic really put a damper on our dating lives. Whether you are in a relationship or single and ready to mingle, our romantic lives have been put on hold. I mean, nothing says romance like being scared to contract a virus. Now that New York is slowly opening up and we are doing pretty well in terms of controlling COVID (knock on wood), I think it’s safe to say that we can step back into our dating lives.
At the beginning of the pandemic, I wasn’t too keen on doing at-home workouts. I enjoy going to the studio; seeing familiar faces, being challenged by an instructor or fellow participant to work harder, having fun while sweating. Sure it was nice to have a little break from over-exhausting my body, and my body really needed this break. I was experiencing shoulder, neck, and back issues at the beginning of the year. Now I do not have as much of an issue and if I have any inflammation in my muscles or joints, I do workouts that are low impact like yoga or fast-pace walking for a few miles.

The other day when I was getting dressed to go run errands, I was browsing through my summer wardrobe. There are so many cute dresses that I have yet to wear this summer; just hanging there waiting to be worn. I started going through the inventory of outfits that have been on rotation over the past month or so and realized how tired I am of wearing them everywhere. That is when I decided that I am no longer going to let the pandemic influence my fashion choices. If I want to wear a cute floral dress or high heels I am going to.
