20 days

You know, they say that it takes about 21 days to develop a habit. Today was the 20th day in a row that we have topped 100 degrees here in the heart of Texas. The hottest day was August 17th, the birthday of a dear friend, and the day that 3000 freshmen moved into their dorms at Baylor University. Over 1500 volunteers directed traffic, drank gallons of water and sweated even more, carried boxes, TV's, pillows, carpet, and of course clothes - trying not to drip on them in the 106 degree temperature. My staff were real troopers. I met most of them betwen 4:30 and 5:00 am and most pulled double duty and did not leave until 4:30 or 5:00 that afternoon.

This link (http://www.baylor.edu/pr/news.php?action=story&story=41256) shows many of the Move In Day crew and the crazy one is Van Davis, our Fitness Coordinator who trolls around the campus on Move In Day, looking for people whose body or soul are dehydrated...she passes out water and is a fountain of encouragement. I am so proud of all of my staff....but Van is the ultimate positivity queen. Now that is habit I would like to hone: positivity - every day all day long.
