Spring Grove athletics

pee wee football practice
Sports are big. Football is big. Pee-Wee football leagues are popular. The Paper Mill visible upper right.

Normal High School Sports. Normal jocks vs nerds.

Not many adults seen exercising.

Spring Grove’s adult population is a mirror reflection of America’s adult population, overwhelmingly overweight or obese.

Luck depends on what you look for

Child prepped for colonoscopy
Between your 4th and 5th birthday you had three colonoscopies.

Luck depends on what you look for…

You are unlucky with an incurable disease and you are lucky it’s not terminal.

Mindset feeds physical health

An object in motion tends to stay in motion. You should be consistently wearing out good running/walking shoes.

The mindset you pick and the attitude you habitually use should serve you better than all your other options.

Best time to worry physically

Blurry photo of family fun on a sofa
Sometimes you discover how cool your family thinks you are when you didn’t know it was a possibility. The smile in the upper left corner speaks the truth. Not to mention Hailey’s smile and Henry’s piling on his older cousin.

Remember the story about Lenn and Debbie in the Disney Institute break room talking about the Atkins diet they were on?

Chimed in and asked, “Why doesn’t anyone ask me what i do?”

Literally in unison, they said, “You don’t need to worry about it.”

To which i (hopefully gently) fired back, “i worry about it every day. That’s why it looks like i don’t need to worry about it.”

It’s the same way Disney Business Operations seem like “Magic” to outsiders. Outsiders believe Disney doesn’t have to work hard. When in fact, Disney works harder than anyone to run a great business. That’s why it looks like we (Disney) don’t have to work hard.

How open-minded?

Fun/cool selfies have no limit.

How open-minded are you?

Twitter (and all social media, stereotypically) is a sh!t-storm.

Open-minded is the last thing anyone deep in the political divide is capable of being.

Self-admittedly, you don’t want to listen to what the other side has to say. At all. You also easily acknowledge that the other side has zero desire to listen to anything you have to say.

Thus, a sh!t-storm.

Perhaps a C or D grade is too generous. Both sides fail when all they want to do is talk and never listen.

Make note of this. And ask yourself if this is how you want to spend your lifetime. Particularly with the people you trust the most and care most about.
