Day 38 - The Rewards of Consistency

For 31 years, my good friend Grant and I have been Christmas shopping every year together. Through this consistency two benefits have happenend. #1) It has provided a great reason for Grant and I to meet each year. #2) I actually get my Christmas shopping done. This year could have been different. After I returned from my week long stay in the hospital from my burst appendix surgery, I could not even walk to my mailbox. Yesterday, we were able to renew the Christmas tradition and it was a great feeling. It was consistency and doing everything to get back into shape so I could carry those presents around the mall. The best part of in-person shopping is buying those things you would never normally buy. Get your push ups done - 38 today! Let's do it.
