Today was a good day. Today we bounced, we yelled, we smiled, we hugged. We met a new person, we remembered a person’s name from last week. We worked out in some badass conditions and got to be what felt like the only ones in the world to be up at that time in the snowy darkness. But NO! It sometimes only briefly feels like that when your alarm goes off in the dark. We are not the only ones- we saw some runners getting up for a snowy jog, we saw some working people getting an early start to their day- maybe they already did their morning workout. We tried to ask them to join us next time because we think it’s more fun to have people with us when we workout than to workout alone. We also worked out with 43 other cities around the world somewhere in and around that time (or 12 hours later in Malaysia). We looked at the people next to us, and thought “this is so badass”. It may be what we will remember later this year when we recall how cold we were, how we fought the elements, how we played in the snow, how we so much more quickly than anticipated, had to remove layers of clothing. We worked hard and we left feeling better than when we came.
Besides being badass, sometimes the holidays can bring about some wonderful times with friends and families, other times it can bring about other emotions- memories of a loved one who is no longer with us and or who lives too far away. Let’s remember that when we go about our day- maybe someone needs an positive conversation, a hug, or simply an extra smile. We are lucky to have one another to re-connect every week. Perhaps there are some people who could use this community too. Keep reaching out, spread the love, spread the joy, make connections and keep moving!
Here’s to bringing soles together. Happy Holidays. See you next week! Bring a friend or a relative visiting for the holidays!
