You should throw that weinke out FP!… next exercise… Good Mornings!

Chimi asked yhc for a date to Q #theclydesdales and a date was set.  Yhc had several weinkes ready to go, had several themes prepared, but today was more of trying to serve a beatdown worthy of the Clydesdales. Yhc showed up to find Patch, Stabler, and Cold-Cut ready for some EC.  Whatley pulled in shortly, and Chimi came in hot right on Chimi time! : )  Flag planted.  Returning from EC – several more pax rolled in ready to roll.  Disclaimer given and it went like this.

Moleskin: Yhc saw on the twitter machine the debate about whether good mornings should or should not be done in the gloom… :)  The good morning however is one of yhc’s favorites, because it was one of the only exercises yhc could do when first joining F3.  This morning was a great time to reflect on how precious life is, as Easy Rider shared what happened to one of his co-workers family.  As men, we are prideful beings (yhc being the most prideful).  Yhc has had people in my life that I need to reconcile with, and with God’s grace that is possible!  Pray that we may be more loving, encouraging, and selfless as we continue to grow.  Hug someone!  Tell someone you love them!  Ask how their day has gone!  And it never hurts to start off with a “GOOD MORNING!”

Blessings!  FP
