Eva’s Byte #258: The Grass is Greener
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. (“Green Green Grass of Home”; Tom Jones, 1966)
The search for greener pastures ends in our own back yard.
Rise and shine! During my morning workout on the elliptical trainer overlooking the view offered by an oversized, double-hung window, I discovered the grass is greener on the other side—in my own back yard.
I’ll be on the lookout for more signs of spring in my back yard throughout the days to come: bulbs blooming, trees budding, and birds chirping. Symbolizing renewal and rebirth, hope springs eternal, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since all of Rhode Island’s state parks, beaches, and campgrouds are officially closed until further notice, I’ve grown to appreciate my immediate surroundings. Upping the ante of exercise during my state’s strict stay-at-home order, I’ve now been taking walks to stave off writer’s butt.
It’s a pleasure to amble along the paved pathways on the sprawling, manicured grounds of my complex. This secluded oasis offers respite from the far-reaching effects of a world crisis.
As for writing, I continue to progress in my Contemporary WIP, winding down chapter 45.
During spring’s forward march, I intend to proceed walking where the grass is greener, in my own back yard. Health benefits aside, I’ll soon be able to see and smell the roses. And, during allergy season, that’s nothing to sneeze at.
If you’ve read this far, may hope spring eternal.

Eva’s Byte #526 – A Walk on the Mild Side
Pivoting from the premises of “never have I ever” lived dangerously, hither come I. There’s a glimmer of truth in the old adage, “slow and steady wins the race”.
While some health nuts fizzle out from raising the bar too high—er uh, dumbbells—I’ve remained steadfast with my exercising and walking routines for days on end throughout the years. My daily regimen includes a short series of Pilates, weightbearing exercises with a pair of 5-lb. weights, and two brisk daily walks around the scenic grounds of my apartment complex.
Let none of us overlook keeping up the pace walking the supermarket aisles, and lifting bags of groceries.
Low-impact exercising and walking on the mild side are equated with attaining success through consistent effort and persistence. Benefits include: improved cardio health; strengthened bones and muscles; reducing risks for heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
In the capacity of a writer who advances through slow and steady pacing along my Contemporary work in progress, I’m rounding the bend drafting chapter 16 (986 words thus far).
*May each of us adopt a pace beneficial to our health and autonomy.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
