My Actifit Report Card: February 21 2025 - Spring Babies & Hospital Stairs

There's a particular satisfaction in combining two passions, and today I did exactly that.

This afternoon, I bundled up the four little ones from work into their stroller and set off.

Finally, the temperature had climbed into the double digits (16 degrees celsius), and a genuine spring feeling was stirring within me.

Though officially still winter, we seized the chance to bask in the delightful weather.

Everyone seemed ready to soak up the sun.

Our calm trip was interrupted by friendly conversations with other walkers and cyclists, who were drawn in by the rare sight of a large stroller crammed with four babies.

The inevitable question, 'Are they all yours? Quadruplets?' always brought a smile.

I'd explain, amidst laughter, that they weren't mine, nor were they quadruplets, but rather, cherished 'loaners' who absolutely adored their outdoor adventures.

Seeing their delight in nature made the experience even more rewarding.

I've captured some of the joy of our walk in these photos and a short video.

Later, I visited my aunt at the local hospital.

She's been making remarkable progress since her transfer a few days ago.

Finding her room empty was a welcome surprise; she's rarely in bed these days.

The doctors are optimistic about her discharge as early as Sunday.

Once she returns home, she will get daily help from home healthcare providers, such as wound care and personal hygiene assistance.

I am deeply grateful for the wonderful healthcare system in the Netherlands.

She will also attend cardiac rehabilitation twice a week to rebuild her strength.

To keep my own heart healthy, I opted for the stairs during my hospital visit, tackling four flights up and down.

I felt a surge of satisfaction knowing I could manage it with ease.

Another successful day, another goal achieved.

I'm heading to bed with a contented heart.

Goodnight everyone, and wishing you a healthy tomorrow.

Wishing you all the best in life and much health.
