Awareness
There are many things happening in the world: The 33 miners in Chile. The floods in Pakistan. An end in Iraq. Massacre in Mexico. Massacre in Congo. The list does continue. All of these things affect our lives directly and indirectly. I was talking to a near and dear family member the other day, and I mentioned that we are blessed to be able to walk freely in our homes while we talk in the phone, with our lights on, cool A/C, and television. Meanwhile, there are 33 miners who will not have those luxuries for a few months (I'm optimistic that they can all survive!). Not to mention, there are more people across the world who are in dire straights.
We can take this time to be thankful and accept the things that we cannot change. Oh, I think the wisdom will come.
More Awareness
I'm giving some shout outs in this section. These are all true whether it pertains to me or you.
Shout out to...
anyone who has a loved one in the hospital (May they recover and have full support)...
anyone hiking the entire Appalachian Trail (Wow, what a feat!)...
anyone just starting a workout routine and enjoying it (Keep it up!)...
anyone starting a fall sport (Play hard!)...anyone focusing on retirement (Hey, retirement is a form of wellness and supposedly gives individuals more time to do things...No? Yes?)...
dancing and other cardio sports. That is, ballroom dancing, salsa dancing, tennis, and Frisbee. Four things that I accidentally left off my top cardio activities list from the last e-newsletter.
all of the parents, teachers, instructors, and coaches who have started school or will begin the school year shortly (teach as if you are still searching for answers!)
all of the students and busy professionals who have started school or will begin school in the coming weeks (study hard, work hard!)
So, everyone is affected. These segments are just little something new.
