“You have not because you ask not.”  ~ Ancient proverb

When I was younger, a group of us used to meet early Sunday mornings at a local business whose owner ran with us. Rain or shine, we would drink coffee, visit and in general, solve the world’s problems. There was always engaging conversation before, during, and after our morning run. Gradually, we all grew longer in the tooth and after about fifteen years, we stopped. Age, bad knees, and grandkids eventually pulled us in other directions. I can say, we had a great time and still talk about the “old days”. After about a ten year hiatus, I decided to put my toe back in the water. I got with a buddy interested in hiking and we now meet for a weekly hike (we’ve been slowly expanding our group). We then grab a coffee and head for the screened-in porch we refer to as “Camp David”. The friendship, conversation, and exercise are an event we look forward to. An inexpensive activity such as this can elevate the experience of living and help you “get a life”. Ask people to participate – make things happen.
