The spring weather in this area has been cooler than usual, and often windy. At the beginning of the week, looking at the weather forecast, I was thinking that it might not be the most comfortable for rowing on the river with my husband.

It turned out to be all right, though. Monday was a bit windy, but relatively warm, and we had a good brisk workout. Tuesday was pretty good too. There was a strong and chilly wind on Wednesday, but it was manageable, and we were left with a sense of accomplishment. Today was also cool, but not overly so, and the water was fairly calm. Every day had something to appreciate.

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.”
