Push-ups!!! It’s been a long week of very little activity and avoiding movements that make me move my head but today I did a variation of one of my favorite moves for the 44!!!
to do push-ups. (not sure why it looks like I have a huge bald circle???)
This was a bit rough today but 44 push-ups always makes me feel semi-strong!!!
Looking around, there are so many people who struggle during this time of year. Society “tells you” that you should be Merry and Bright but sometimes that is hard for a number of reasons.
There are so many people who are hurting right now for a variety of reasons. I think that one of the main reasons that people struggle through the holiday season is loneliness!
Even with all of the commotion going on everywhere you turn right now, there are many people who feel completely isolated.
For some, it is just because they are separated from family by distance and due to work, time, finances or numerous other factors they can’t be with the ones they are closest to.There are also many people that don’t really have family to be with during the holidays. Even though they may have great friends, sometimes it is awkward to join someone else’s family on a holiday.
Since Chris and I have been married, we have spent many Christmases without any family. Many years it is just the 4 of us – sometimes we have friends over and other times we hang out together.
This year we decided to start a new tradition and hopefully reach out to some of those who are lonely and feeling left out during this time of year.
I know that we can’t make things perfect for people but I hope that we can at least help a few people who might not have anyone to celebrate with spend a few hours enjoying themselves!
I hope that this becomes a new yearly tradition and a way to spend time with friends both old and new!!!
Happy Thursday!
