Even In a suburban environment, when I spend the morning planting, weeding, and harvesting I DO feel one with the Earth.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

Another beautiful day on planet Earth! I'm happy to be alive!

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

Something I thoroughly enjoy is making myself a nice hot breakfast in the morning.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

Today I'm thrilled to see life creeping back into my garden. The green onions and rhubarb are fighting the good fight!

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

@SyndicatorGuy Short and sweet. I love it.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

I'm grateful to think that in 10 years I will wake up and still be young. It won't always be that way.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

Today I am proud to have typed 1,600 words for a piece that I can call my own. Small steps everyday should get me there eventually.

It wasn't until college that I thought about my relationship with food. I knew nothing about the food I was eating! Not where it came from or how to cook it. There were many foods I couldn't even name. Now it seems that's all I think about. How's your relationship with food?

I plan on introducing my kiddo to martial arts at a relatively young age. My wife and I also discussed gymnastics.

[SDPB News @SDPBNews]

Most people think of activities like baseball and soccer when it comes to youth sports. But a growing number of kids are getting active and growing their confidence with martial arts.

Just finished The Story of the Human Body by Daniel Lieberman. iteresting and enlightening to think about humanity from its beginning until now. This book has me seriously looking at my own behaviors. It makes me glad to think my son will be a better, more evolved version of me.

@ZubyMusic Although never having left my country, I would imagine trying a new culture's food would be a great way to immerse oneself in that culture. There is so much intimacy that comes along with food. It is something I would like to do personally.

The best part of my day for the last 7 weeks has been reading to my son.
I think he likes it too. ☺️

Growth & change can come with pain.

That’s inevitable & you need to accept it going in.

But I promise you,

Nothing is as painful as choosing to stay stuck somewhere you don’t belong.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

@keloland I suppose that's good news.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

@keloland Do whatever you want to your own body as an adult. Kids should not be involved in the conversation.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

I absolutely believe that when I set firm goals. Think them. Write them. Speak them. My chances of completing them increase dramatically. Share your dreams with the world and support others' dreams as well.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

@sovmindset I believe that's what's needed to navigate through all times.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

Committing to my wife, and then having my son has brought me more happiness than possibly every other decision I've ever made.

[Austin Hanks @AustinHanks1]

I wanted to share a little gratitude. @Mindpump and @ZubyMusic have both given me some inspiration this year through their own content, and inadvertently helped me decide to try to make my own life something... More. Thanks guys for all you do and share.
