"If you feel like you're losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come." The cyclical nature of the seasons offers a powerful metaphor for the journey of life. Winter, with its biting cold and barren landscapes, mirrors those periods in our lives filled with challenges and hardship, where the warmth of joy seems a distant memory. It's a time that tests our resilience, reminding us that even in the coldest moments, we possess the strength to persevere. But the beauty of this cycle is in the promise that winter holds: the inevitable arrival of spring. Just as winter ends, so do the difficult phases of our lives, giving way to periods of renewal, growth, and boundless possibility. Spring's first bloom is a testament to resilience, a beacon of hope that after every hardship comes ease, and with every ending, a new beginning awaits. So, as we face our own winters, let's remember that spring is just around the corner. Let's embrace the challenges of the week with the knowledge that they are but the precursors to our forthcoming renewal. Crush the week, armed with the hope and resilience taught to us by the changing seasons.

We have found that the act of “play” is something that we let escape us as adults. Whether we feel that the opportunities are fleeting as we get older, our bodies don’t feel up for it, or we feel it is too immature, we let it go from our lives. Ask yourself why. Think of all the times when you do play as an adult, and how you feel afterwards. Maybe times like at a family BBQ and you are playing volleyball. How much fun are you having?! The funny thing is, we can have that regularly again, even as an adult. The best part is, it’ll help your overall health and you won’t even notice it.
