A gorgeous morning greeted us as the sun makes her appearance ever earlier while winter fades behind us. The moon was not ready to bid us adieu, so he loomed over us, full-faced in the glow of his celestial companion. Then we started working out and forgot all about it.

MOLESKINE:
Five brave souls showed up at Bailey Road Park today for no fun and no games (but quite a menagerie of made-up exercises). I think the other four all did a standard, but YHC was still drooling on the pillow at that hour.
Props to Metallica for always checking to see if it’s going to be fun or brutal—and only staying if it’s going to be brutal.
Kachow was thrown off by the weird exercises but now that he’s been initiated into the Jersey Boy He-Man Club, he’ll be better prepared for next time (probably by staying home).
Since the final whistle had officially blown on the time and we had such a rule-abiding pack of Pax, nobody was up (or down) for a few minutes of Frisbee, so we did our COT with an thought toward appreciating not only what we have, but what we don’t have in our lives: serious illness, loss of limb, poverty, death.
Gratitude + Appreciation = Peace of Mind x Fulfillment
That’s a simple formula that so many F3ers seem to have solved. Tclaps to those who already get it–you know who you are.
