Take your family for a walk!
Spring is in the air in central Illinois! On our college campus, people are out in full force running, walking, playing games or just hanging out. It seems like this is the time of year that we all look for some reason to get out, enjoy the sun and get a little pep in our step. This is also the season for standardized tests for elementary schools, mid-terms for colleges and just cabin fever for many.
Now is a great time to start a new family tradition, or renew one if it's been a while. Go for a family walk after dinner, or whenever you can! It doesn't have to be long, even 10-15 minutes is a good start, just MOVE! Doing this together could be a time to catch up on each other's day or just "decompress" and have some quality time away from our hectic schedules.
Walking is a great activity that just about anyone can do. Take advantage of the changing weather and you and your family could have a wonderful habit established for summer!

Looking forward to your blog posts.
ReplyDeleteGreat story at this link about a grass roots effort to break up the big ag companies that put so many impurities in the food system. We need to organize like this all over the nation and send a message to Congress, the DoJ and giant food companies.

I have been following Slow Food USA for some time. If anyone else is interested, check out www.slowfoodusa.org. There is so much we can and should do! The time for lunch campaign has some excellent points too.
