Wow, can you believe it? Winter is oooover!! In just three days I've had 2 football games, some serious passing routes and a couple of basketball games in the driveway. You gotta love spring. This is a very special spring in that all of my lads will be playing football. I know the bug is bad in my house when my youngest is in tears because Dad says it's too cold to play a game of football behind the dale.
Spring is a great time of the year!! Life springs up!! I can see the buds coming on the trees. The birds are back, the bulbs in the garden are just starting to come up out of the ground! Spring symbolizes newness, life, change. The days get longer and the dark gets shorter. You get to see your neighbour out in the yard and you see people all around.
I want to put up a challenge this year. With Spring symbolizing change, and newness and growth. I want to challenge each one of you to do something different this Spring. I did something different last Spring, it involved cutting back on the eating and doing some more exercise. The result so far is 32 pounds lost. I also this winter started playing squash with a few good friends at 6:30am.
Let's do something different this Spring. Get off your... duff (I think that is a good choice) and do something! Anything! Change it up! Mix it up! Laugh it up! Come on... forget the same old same old!
I can't wait for next week we start Spring Football. It is going to be amazing being out there with those lads and seeing all my boys playing. It makes life crazy but hey... it's Spring! Come on!
Do something and tell someone. Send me a note and let me know what you are doing.
Until next time! Let's try something new!
