Life's Just a Stage-So Dance!

Virtual Exercising -is catching on among the kiddie couch potatoes.  This is a CBS news clip about that phenomenon that I first saw on Laura Stockman’s blog, “Twenty-Five Days to Make a Difference”. It looks like technology is making yet another inroad into changing our lives for the better.

It’s been a sad fact of modern life that it’s just not possible for all children to go outside to play anymore-much less spend hours skating, biking, climbing trees, “exploring”,  playing “Hide and Seek” and “Chase” allover the neighborhood-blocks away from their own homes the way my elementary school friends and I spent so many happy hours.  Practically the only time we came inside was when someone’s mother insisted we all go home for lunch or dinner; it never even occurred to us that anyone would choose to spend the whole day in front of the television.

If you haven’t seen this truly inspirational blog, check it out; this is my first good deed for today, in honor of Laura, who decided to memorialize her grandfather by performing a good deed a day for a month, and writing a blog about it.  Her blog that has been seen by incredible numbers of people all over the world.
