Community

I think community is a great word that evokes feelings of happiness, excitement, and interest for me. Especially this time of year when people are out on the streets, there are festivals and farmer's markets and summer concerts on the green.  To me, it's about getting out in your community, as well as forming a community of friends in the area that you get together with.  Whether it's a fitness or running group, a sewing group, a mom's group, or a team sport. Gathering with a group of likeminded people to have a little fun and broaden your horizons is a great thing.

So often we get stuck in the day to day of our busy lives that we don't always look for new and fun ways to spend our time. Sure, there's a little work involved in researching summer concert locations or in finding times and locations for certain events, but I bet you're always glad you took the time to do it while you're enjoying the great happenings in your community.  I also love trying new things we hear about.  Last year, Mike and I participated in New Haven's ClueFest.  We initially thought 'what the heck' and just showed up figuring we'd bail if it was lame. We ended up having the best time with an incredible team and are SO looking forward to it again this year. 

Today, I'm headed to a Saturday morning work out at CrossFit New Haven (my community).  And, if our schedule permits, we're hoping to stop by this comedy show I learned about yesterday.  It supports a local youth baseball team and sounds like something fun and new to try:
