Later this afternoon, I'm going to take Mr. Z. on a walk with my pregnant best friend, Penny. She's into her 12th week and her little baby has grown from the size of a peanut to a fig... and now a lime!
Thinking about the baby brings a smile to my face and reminds me of good, positive surprises that come our way. Remember when I cried and was upset about this significant change and what it would do to our friendship? We actually hang out more now and spend more time together than before.
Here's a picture from last summer when I accidentally took a picture of myself with my phone. I quite like this photo because it captures a cute skirt that I bought at a market in Taiwan. I use the same purse today because it's small and compact, and perfect for walks in the park.
The next few weeks will be busy for me but I will try to continue taking walks with Penny and her little baby. And Mr. Z of course. It is good self-care to get our bodies moving, to be healthy with a friend, and to catch-up with each other about our lives, our families, our feelings.
