MLK day

One of my favorite quotes of all time:

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

is by Martin Luther King Junior.

Here it is at his memorial in Washington DC.

I'm just reminded that there is so much good we can do in the world ~ if only we would do it.  I know that in my life, it's all about me and my family and my job and my adventures.  What could I do to make this world a better place, if only I tried?  What does it look like to always be that light?  To be the love that drives out hate?

One man.  That's all Martin Luther King was, one man.  One man who was light and spread God's love into the world.  

That's a pretty deep thought for me ~ especially as I meant to write about last Sunday (Jan. 12) when I fell down twice in one day.  Embarrassing ~ and a little painful.

And I meant to write about the Aqua Zumba class and the Yoga class I've started taking on Saturdays and Sundays...instead of running & how this cross training has eliminated the pain in my hip & lower back.

See, I was just going to write about me.  That's where we all go, I do believe.  

Here's my challenge.  Be a light & spread some love.  I'll let you know how it goes.
