You are free to sit or move.

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

Balancing habitual sitting against habitual movement should be aspirationally high.

Walk everywhere.

Stand as much as possible.

Stretch daily.

Carry things.

And as a senior adult, my minimal aim is walking three hours per day.

Such a brilliant move for you to allow five hours of travel time, even though it’s only one hour from Sippy Downs to Brisbane.

Glad it paid off to counter the unforeseen challenges at the beginning of your trip.

Not knowing when i will die, i do know i want to be moving well on the day before or even on the day.

Why do college students move?

Same reason seniors move.

To feel better about themselves.

College students do it because it’s life’s mating season.

Seniors do it because of mating season’s fond memories.

Say it ain’t so.

Ps. i love writing everyday. It’s fun and therapeutic.

i never dreamed of being in a fraternity.

dad

In 1978, one of Sig Ep’s regional directors visited West Chester State College where the intramural basketball league was held.

As i understand the story, Gary Bonas was looking for a group of young men who already worked well together for a common goal.

If Gary could get 6 to 10 guys from an intramural team, he’d have the basic recipe for a startup.

That basketball team was the alpha pledge class. i was a fellow physical education major at South campus and was invited to a social and then consequently invited to be in the beta pledge class.

In a year, we grew to three dozen young men and did all the things required to go from a fraternity colony to a fraternity chapter.

That’s us in the photo above. Cheryl randomly found it on the College website.

Note: This blog post title, Why do college students move?, was inspired after i looked at all the guys in the photo and recalled how all of us lead an active lifestyle.

Ps. That’s me front row, far left.

Move like you mean it now. For someday you may pray for the opportunity to do it daily.

i always take the stairs, no matter how many floors.

Why?

Some day i will likely yearn to be able to take a few steps up.

Note: When people take the elevator, or escalator, they have no premonition that one day it will be their only choice.
