    This really stuck with me from last week…….

    “We all get up in the cold and wet to workout because it’s enjoyable, and kinda fun to rough it in these conditions. But there are a lot of people who *live* like this, and it’s getting colder and more uncomfortable outside. If you have a coat taking up space in your closet (and you do), then pass it along to an agency or charity that can use it. “
