A few things I taught my kids
1. In a crisis situation don’t become part of the crisis. Put emotion aside, think practically, there will be time for emotions later.
2. Stick with the plan and don’t do anything rash. This too shall pass
3. Take care of those who take care of you
4. Be persistent and take advantage of your opportunities regardless of barriers.
5. Most importantly maintain your warrior spirit and don’t let your enemy win.

Home gym is nice and functional! Also, getting close to complete only need a few more dumbbells and a dip station. We spend a lot of time taking care of and thinking about others. Make sure to take care of yourself too!!!!
