CoT: May is Mental Health Month
Be open to the truth that healthy individuals feel pain and use it to become stronger. Strong people feel pain, strong people use pain, strong people feel all of that emotion. Strong people are not stronger than their pain. Strong people are really intimate with their pain.

Pain is so beautiful. Pain is what makes us strong. Pain is what makes us human. So many of us think that what we want in life is just to be happy. I really wonder if that’s true. I wonder if we just want to be happy. Or I wonder if we just want to be human.

I don’t want to just be happy. I want to be sad when it’s time to be sad. I want to go through grief and inner turmoil to figure out my values, to figure out what I really believe in. I want to feel discipline and resistance, those are not happy emotions. Discipline and resistance are kind of painful, but that’s what you need to feel in order to do hard, great things. – Sara Brewer, Overcome Pornography for Good podcast

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mental Health Awareness Month
COT: Courage was the main topic. I read about Courage from David Whytes book Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words
It takes courage to step into and embrace our vulnerabilities, especially for men in the world today. We need each other to share, grow and evolve. F3 gives us a great platform to do just that. Have courageous conversations with one another that bring us past where we would be able to get on our own. Bringing courage into our awareness as move through our weekend and our lives. Gave @bogey a shout out for bringing awareness to the importance of mental health especially among men in our world today. Grateful to be a part of this community of great men working to be the best version of themselves. Namaste brothers🙏

Total of 2 miles running, 145+ merkins, and 80 big boys (about 425 points). MARY: Did a lot of Big Boys during the THANG
ANNOUNCEMENTS: NOTE” Sandlot will go again next week at 06:30; George Michael’s Sports Machine was awesome and groundbreaking, but there were perhaps issues on the set. Also, there is a spoof of Hunger Games that is a must watch. NOTE: Alex Karras was multi-talented and starred in a number of important motion pictures. Mystery Science Theatre is available on-line and fund to watch.
COT: May is Mental Health Awareness Month; Sandlot is great because the Q can riff of COTs from the preceding Qs earlier week; Patchouli crushed it Friday and struck the appropriate tone to kick off the month; SYITG!
