Lose Five Pounds, Save the World

Let us be honest with ourselves.  We read books for hope.  We fall for characters who change.  They overcome odds, grow stronger, face hardships and come out on top.  We need these characters.  They help us escape, and their terrifying worlds remind us we’re not so bad off.  But even more, we need to find the characters within ourselves who can make small, persistent changes for the better.  We need to recognize and love who we are, right now, today, even on this Monday of Mondays, and go forward from here.

Let us resolve to take better care of ourselves, because we deserve it, and let us resolve to take better care of the world, because our children deserve it.
