How I started

COVID has been a mixed blessing for me. It really caused things to slow down, plans to be changed, and a lot more focus to be placed at home and on my family.

I was (and am) still going to work every day, so that didn't change. But that routine has changed for others in my family, which ended up causing a routine change for myself when I'm home from work.

Everything felt super out of control, and so dialed it back to what I felt like I could control and started there.

What I felt like I could control:
  1. Social media consumption
  2. My attitude
  3. My fitness
  4. The food we were eating
And that's it.

I backed away from social media as I found it very emotionally triggering.
Every morning I would write down 3 things I was grateful for, and 3 things I wanted to accomplish that day.
I took advantage of free yoga classes every day.
I went into meal planning mode.

So, in a nutshell, I went back to basic needs and I think I'm going to stay here for a bit. Our province is cautiously starting to open up, and while my circle will inevitably start to expand again my goal for the next little bit is to focus on the 4 items I felt like I could (and can) control and decide what else to bring in when it's the appropriate time for me.

Our yard was also almost a foot lower than both of our neighbors, and as such we had a LOT of flooding issues during spring thaw. First step was to raise the yard to be level with the properties on either side of us. With my work, I do a lot of grading planning, so we were able to utilize that to ensure that we could minimize water runoff issues. I cannot stress this enough.  When re-designing an outdoor space.  HAVE A PLAN. Understand where you want water to go. How the sun moves across the yard Can your neighbors see you? Do you want them to? Common travel paths If you have pets, where you want them to do their business Do you want a garden? Do you want to plant flowers every year? Or would you rather lower maintenance perennials? Do you have trees? Do you want trees? Do you have...
