COT:
Challenge you to be generous with compliments. It can change someones complete outlook on the day. There are too many things around us that are pushing us down and compliments are the glue that keep relationships strong and provide healing and strength.

Tell your M shes beautiful, your kids that you love them. Give a coworker a small nod of appreciation for dedication, that their new hair style looks good on them, a complete stranger a compliment on their attire or just smile and tell them to have a great day. We don’t know what hidden hardships or pain that person is going through and your small boost can be the one thing they needed to get through the day.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: New rucking AO launching at Horizon on Thursday 6-7am. No PT, no weight required for those recovering.
COT: Love & chores. A Harvard longitudinal study followed a set of children all the way through their lives. The common elements during the childhood of the most successful and satisfied adults were a loving home and an expectation that the children would do chores as a kid. The latter instills sense of self worth, confidence and can-do attitude that leads to productive people. That’s why my daughter got a lawn mower for her 12th birthday that she had to share with her brothers.

You just have to manage time; be mindful of the safety of the Pax, particularly if you venture out into the neighborhood; you want to minimize time spent explaining; and from a level of difficulty standpoint, only Q what you can do. You will find it fun and satisfying – we all thrive on feedback and acceptance.
