This past Friday, the last day of July, marked the conclusion of our month-long Spiritual Physical Fitness Challenge. So many of you have embraced our SPF Challenge in meaningful and inspiring ways. We’ve been lucky enough to hear from members of our community throughout the month about your experiences in nature, with meditation, journaling, poetry, photography, walking, hiking, biking, baking, and being.
We don’t take the opportunities we’ve had this month for granted. We are privileged to live in a community where it is easy to get outside, to be safe and socially distant on trails or in our own backyards. We are blessed to live in a beautiful place. Ashreinu mah tov helkeinu— we are happy, for - even in the midst of challenges and sorrow - how great is our portion, our lot in life!
