our happiness FOUND.
I had an entirely different post planned for today until I spontaneously changed it last night (which is actually right now. tonight. but tomorrow will be last night. d*mn this tense-stuff in blogging can be confusing).
The Tornado is out of school in honor of Martin Luther King Day.
I admire Dr. King.
Tremendously.
Yet, Ill admit, I dont think of him frequently enough.
Until lately.
Since we’ve moved Ive clung tightly to a few of his quotes & harnessed them to help me ease my transition—which I now know is as important as the pose.
Ive used them as a lens through which to view my new town (whats my place here? how can I have an impact & leave a mark?) & learned a few things about myself along the way.
- Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve.
- No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they’d die for.
- Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.
- Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?”
Today’s post was about fitness & frolicking. Muscles & movement.
Important stuff, but quite frankly not the stuffs my family will be focusing on.
As a result, it felt inauthentic to ask you to turn your brains to the brawn when we all know HAPPINESS, SERVICE, and SPREADING JOY can help our health, too.
Today the Tornado & I are living the final twelve words of this quote:
We are spending the day seeking happiness for others and making this a day ON not a day OFF.
- Ambling about OAKtown watching for opportunities to lighten a load.
- Seeking ways to facilitate other people’s joy or at least casting a LIGHT and not a shadow.
Im closing the comments because Id rather you join us.
Spend the minutes you’d use commenting to do a small act for another person.
Snag the time you’d spend here, honor Dr. King, & ponder how you might seek happiness for others in your community.
Traditional workouts are fab (and probably already done?), but today let’s let’s honor Dr. King with the HELPERS HIGH.
No matter where you live.
No matter whether you have the day OFF or ON.
Let’s band together & focus on seeking happiness…for others.
