Take a Look....

Have you looked around lately to notice how many unhealthy, unhappy looking people there are around you? I attended several Labor Day events this past weekend only to notice that more than half of the people I saw appeared to look and feel miserable. It appeared that they were having difficulty being mobile and that they were uncomfortable in the mild weather that we were in. It was hard to whiteness. It wasn't only adults that were in the condition that I speak of it was children as well. I think that was the hardest of all to watch. Why should children be suffering of ill health or unhappiness? You might be questioning as to whether or not I am judging these individuals just by observation? In all fairness I may be, however when people are frowning, swearing, crying or are speaking in words of plain misery what other assumption would you make? The goal of this blog is not to poke fun of unhappy, unhealthy people but instead to raise awareness. Why is there so much of this out there and is there anything we can do as a society to help it stop? Is being unhealthy and unhappy an individual choice or is it becoming a social epidemic? Look around you and see whether you feel that there is a problem. There are to many people suffering. What can we do to change this problem? Let's start a discussion and come up with ideas as to what we can do to help one another. Where do you think the problem starts? Do you think it's chronic pain? Weight? Stress? Not being able to find help? Financial Issues? As a society, what do you think we can do to best help the overall problem? This blog is meant purely to open your eyes to your surroundings and open all of our minds to what we can do to join forces and to help one another. Never forget to extend a hand and pay it forward. :)
