Contributor Assignment #FieldDayFriday

Shop discount stores for group supplies such as Harbor Freight for extension grabbers, disposable gloves, clear plastic bags for yard waste and separating recyclable debris.  Going further hand sanitizer, recommend a change of clothes and surgical masks. 

Depending on the location of your cleanup and the amount of debris being collected, notify the appropriate disposal company/authority. 

Find a way to reward your team for their hard work.  Think pizza parlors or sandwich shops that offer outdoor seating (weather permitting)

Survey an area including commercial and residential properties if a team of 3 or more hasn't been assigned yet.  A strategic cleanup could be organized with little effort.  Think in terms of a 4-7 block radius, something like the area including the baseball grounds, arena, parking lot and garage near Fairbank Field.  Assess drainage grades and ditches. 

In the long run value will be added to the area. Pedestrian traffic, cyclists and motorists shouldn't be distracted by debris laden fence lines or ill prepared dog owners.  Promote the LetsMove campaign by encouraging those with cleaner streets to walk down.  Cyclists notice maliciously discarded glass containers near curbs before motorists as pedestrians will notice debris laden fence lines, uneven walkways and over- grown lots before cyclists and motorists will.

Stop looking Back

Encounters. Accountability. Convenience. Choices. Choose Happiness. Sync yourself with a purpose other than your own. Delight in predictable situations. Know your position. Dead weight. Someone is counting on the moment they're activated. Mental sharpness. Quick means short bursts of strength. Try not overcompensating when a new page is turned, focus instead on the most important first. For example if in order for you to feel like you're being taken seriously involves a short routine of showering, getting made up and dressed before anything else, do that. Don't interrupt. Find somewhere to think large and somewhere else to think small. Earn back your self respect if its gone. Find and cherish something unique, quirky even. Stop looking back. Find a hillside or clearing in the woods to watch the sunrise. Feed the birds, they'll be there.  If you beg to differ and your
demand is met, be glad. 3 people I used to know could easily put a Holy Bible scripture, book and chapter with this thought immediately.
