It's Sunday Post time! This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.
This past week I started doing yoga again for the first time since Will was diagnosed and it has made such a difference in my headaches and just general stress level. I used to do lots of classes but in the past couple of years I had switched to just YouTube channels. Yoga with Adriene and Sarah Beth Yoga are my favorites. I've been keeping it really low key - more stretching then actual yoga - and short - no more then 10 or 15 minutes - and I've been really loving it.
Currently:
Reading: Mrs. Jeffries Demands Justice by Emily Brightwell and A Curio Killing by Mary Ellen Hughes - though both of these should be finished today.
Listening: Dangling by a Thread by Lea Wait
Watching: I watched an Aurora Teagarden mystery on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries this week and enjoyed it. It's pretty cheesy and not at all like the original books but it's lots of fun and I've got one more before I'm completely caught up.
Have a great week and happy reading!
I am glad Will is feeling better. What a wonderful treat to spend time with the therapy dog!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to work harder at getting back into an exercise routine of some sort--just to get moving more. I am glad you have been able to devote more time to Yoga and it is helping.
I hope you are enjoying your reading. Have a great week, Katherine!
Oh I'm glad this was a better week! And that therapy dog looks amazing. I hope Will has a fabulous week coming up as well. I imagine visitors was nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to read more cozies.
Good to hear Will is finding it easier going for now and yes to yoga and stretching. I know stretching is good, Stretch is even my word for 2021 but I am not faithful to it ...yet! I must see if the Lea Wait books are available to me on audio although mind you I have a few more series to listen to first!
ReplyDeleteHi Katherine! I love Aurora Teagarden, the tv series. But never read the books. I think the series was quite entertaining, but yes - definitely a bit cheesy here and there.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear Will had a good week and the the yoga helps you too! I don't always feel like going to barre class, but yes - you do feel better after the exercise and relaxation.
Have a good week and take care!

I'm glad you had a better week, and that Will feels better - the therapy dog looks adorable, what a good idea to include animals in the kids treatments. Yoga helps a lot, it does, I experienced it personally. I knew about Adriene's channel, which I love, but I'd never heard about Sarah Beth, her videos and her playlist make me want to try them asap. Have a zen week, take care :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad Will had a good week and hope he has more! I would like to try yoga but with my bad knees I can't do a lot of the moves, but I should try those I can...lol.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading!

I am so glad he is doing better this week. I love yoga with Adriene, I used to do that a lot. Since I am home I really should try to do that again even for 10 minutes.
ReplyDeleteTherapy dogs are amazing, my son used to have them come to his school.
I hope you have a great week, Katherine! Happy Reading! xx
I'm so glad this was a better week for you all, Katherine. And what a joy to spend time with a St. Jude therapy dog. And great you got to have some visitors.
ReplyDeleteIt's good you're starting yoga again, too. I hope this is another good week for you all and that you get to read some good books, too.
I'm glad he is feeling better, and had some visitors.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great you are doing Yoga again and I'm all for using the videos on youtube much easier to do it at your own pace. I need to start doing it again.
I hope you guys have a great week.
I feel like we are all living the covid restrictions they just never seem to end. At least they are trying to keep you all safe and you get to return to school. In California our kids have almost been out a year and at the rate we are going I don't see them returning anytime soon sadly. Looks like you had a great week. Happy Reading!!!
I am so glad that Will is feeling better. I think it was awesome that they had a dog there to help comfort patients. I have always wanted to try yoga but just haven't done it yet. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see Will with the therapy dog, who looks adorable. So glad to hear that the treatment is easier at this stage. And doing the yoga exercises sounds like an excellent idea - you're in for the long haul, so finding something quick and practical that can help you throughout without lots of equipment, etc sounds ideal. I hope the coming week is a good one, Katherine:)
ReplyDeleteI am glad Will is feeling better, and that he could have visitors!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, although most of them are reruns. I'll be glad when they produce some new ones!
Enjoy your week!
Yoga is really helpful. You may like this 'Tim Tenessi' on Youtube. I do his yoga and it helps. I also like any meditation that has chimes and chanting in it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was a better week for Will. He must have loved having visitors. I think doing yoga again is a wonderful idea, and I may check out those YouTube links. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled it was a better week. I'm also glad you found some Yoga which is working for you. It's important to take care of yourself also. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I wanted to send some {{HUGS}} first - I don't know if I have posted here before.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that your son is feeling better! Praying for many many many more of those in the upcoming weeks.
I know what you mean about yoga. I just love the peace that comes with it - it's like a magic cure for a lot of problems.
How great to have visitors. That has to do you all a world of good. I hope you and Will have a great week ahead. I'm going to check those yoga channels out. Thanks for the links!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your son is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThat's such good news about Will! It must raise all your spirits when he feels better, and when his immune system is doing well. And also good for you that you're getting back to yoga! I would like to start yoga. I tried in 2019 with Adrienne, but got derailed this year... but I'm going to give it another go.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to read Will is doing better. And how nice that he was able to hang out with one of the therapy dogs.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading.
Sounds like you have all had a positive week!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
I'm so glad you had a good week! How wonderful that the visit with the therapy dog was so helpful. Yoga is always a good thing for me. I struggle to do things alone; I do so much better when I do things with others. But I have resolved to do yoga/walking/stretching every morning, and that has helped my mood, too. I made a little playlist and a list of yoga poses, and I like that I can do as much or as little as I want.
ReplyDeleteSo glad this has been a better week!! Thanks for linking to the two yoga channels you like... I'll check them out.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to hear that your week has been a better one. Also, great to hear that you've returned to an activity that helps you and that you're making that time for yourself. Both channels you shared are my go tos for yoga too.
ReplyDeleteA happy new week to you - reading & otherwise.
Glad his numbers are better and he got some time with that wonderful therapy dog. Glad you're taking care of yourself with this yoga.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that last week was so good. That's great news. I hope he keeps feeling better all the time.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Glad to hear some good news for your son! I'm sure the dog and visitor helped with spirits all the way around! My heart goes out to you and your family! I think the yoga would really help, and it's so important for you to take time for you. I've been working out with YouTube videos, too. I'm loving Heather Robinson. Have a lovely week! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad your son had good numbers and got to spend time with that sweet dog. Glad you were able to do some yoga as well!
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you’re both feeling better! That dog is adorable. I do Yoga With Adriene every morning. I think it helps with my stiff muscles and tension headaches. Have a great week!
