Jump for Joy!

Yup. Literally. I want everyone to show me their BEST jump for joy. I want you to feeeeel it.

Believe it. Be it.

Ball up your fists. Bend your elbows into your gut as you bend down to spring. Then push up so hard that you jump up and explode!

Or, you could try running and jumping for joy.



Why?

Oh, that's a good question.

Well, let's think of some rationally good reasons:
  1. It will get your blood flowing and make your cheeks pink which will make you look healthy.
  2. It will warm up cold hands and feet.
  3. It will make you laugh which increases the secretion of the hormone endorphins, which will help you stay healthy.



Now for some irrational reasons:
  1. Because we can.
  2. Because it's fun.
  3. Because it's not sitting like a lump in a chair.

That's enough of the reasons. Back to jumping for joy.

I hit upon this because I was looking for a photo of me for something and found this:



It is one of many that friends who came to visit me where crazy enough to do with my daughter. To this day, when I look at that photo I laugh. I glow. It makes me so happy.

And frankly, I don't think there is enough of that going around.

If you're feeling brave, send me a photo of your jump for joy. It could inspire someone else...
