Your road trip sounds so fun, I hope it's helping you to feel better even if you are still a bit unwell.

I'm reducing my screen time right now too, following a week's holiday in the woods with my little ones in which I barely touched my phone. The mental clarity it brings is unreal - is this how clear headed our ancestors felt? 😂

Maybe!! I’m loving that part and also feel like I have so much more time on my hands since separating myself from my phone!

Same! I'm reading more books and studying new things and listening to what's going on around me when I'm walking... It's a whole new world out here

Glad you made a full recovery and managed to spend quality time with friends and family! I am tempted to suggest that your sneakers expense could fall under the 'travel' category because walking and running are some of your main means of transportation!

Glad to hear it! You should also treat yourself when you've walked, say, 50 miles!

Money spent with Family is priceless. I do not regret any of the times I paid with my Mother and Father. My only regrets are that we never made it to Sizzler and that we didn’t eat out even more often. Time is short🙏.
