I had a quiet and relaxing workday, feeling comfortable in my home office with my husband sitting at his desk across the room. After work, we enjoyed a lovely summer evening, perfect for rowing singles. The sky was clear, and the setting sun glittered on the water. A heron was standing on the dock, quite unafraid, as we came back in. By the end of the day, my soul felt much refreshed.

Nurturing Thursday was started by Becca Givens and seeks to encourage self-nurturing and to “give the planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy.”
