Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a lovely rainy start to the day; warming up to become a humid day, but cold now and more rain on the way tomorrow; for zero Loadshedding today after a heavy shedding week 😱; for a working morning; for my Dinkel poppyseed roll stop; for enough time to have my favorite Appeltaart at Labotessa and seeing owner Johann du Plessis there; for a quick shop at Fideli’s, seeing the newly engaged owner Chef Judi Fourie there; for a good Status meeting for Anatoli and Utopia, doing so well ; so happy that clients of mine loved the JAN experience in Nice last night 🙏 for a refreshing walk to the Tidal Pool; and for being happy, healthy, and free. 🙏💙

I was so careful to charge my FitBit this morning, to not repeat running out of battery power completely and not record my steps, as happened last week. Today I forgot it when I went to town, missing out on valuable steps. And in all that time it never charged. 😱

SA Corona Status: 2 914 827 cases 88506 deaths 19 899 964 vaccinations.

FitBit 7500 steps 5,5 km 👣

I am posting my daily Facebook post to journal this Corona Lockdown Journey, perhaps to serve as material for a future Book.
