Circle of Trust
It is a motivating time of year as it is the time of year for resolutions. This works for some but some, like myself, need more. I was motivated by HODL to start a merkins challenge. 100 merkins a day for 100 days. Here we are a year in still pushing each other. I could not have started or got to this point without him. There is no plan to stop, just modify the challenge in front of us. Having someone next to you is that extra drive that can get you to your goal. Motivation can be found anywhere but it is highly prevalent with F3 fellowship. I encourage you to find and give motivation to the man next to you. It will make a difference

The pool house is a great wind break for north to west winds.
