If you love some "thing"... Let it know.

If you know me, you know I love dance. I breathe dance. Movement flows though my body the second I hear a song that moves me. My feet can't ignore the urge to tap dance down any grocery store aisle.  So what happens when you can't do that? 

This weekend I was able to go to my very favorite dance convention and watch. Within the first few minutes of class the instructor said, "Aren't we all so lucky to be here and dance today?," and I thought to myself that I truly may be the only person in the room who realized how lucky each dancer was. My heart wanted to be out there more than anything. 

So this brings me to say that not only should we not take life for granted, but we can't take our passions for granted either. For me, that's dance or any form of physical activity. Never have I ever missed a treadmill more!! 

So what are you taking for granted? I hope it isn't your health. However, in America it seems that more commonly it is. As the second most obese country in the world, only behind Mexico, we are caught in this fast food lifestyle. Like all situations where things are taken for granted, we take the easy way out. Now, as a busy teenager, I know how simple a quick drive through is, but I also know the consequences. The worst thing you can do for your body is NOT appreciate it. 

This week I'm challenging you to do one good thing for your body everyday. Consciously be aware of what you are doing and the decisions you are making. After all, your body is a temple. (I wouldn't bring McDonalds, hehe.)
