I have posted before on my disdain for the commercial excess that is Black Friday. If you care to read all about it from last year, that can be found here. But this time around, opting for less snark, I’m giving a hearty shout out to a group called Walk2Connect. They promote healthy lifestyles through group hikes that also foster social interaction. Their event for this day after Thanksgiving – usually given over to shopping and recovery from yesterday’s caloric excess – is called “Opt Outside Friday.” The following visual aid came to my inbox this morning, complete with a message that’s good any and every day, all year long:
And with that… let’s go take a hike!
Walk on, friends.
Despite the grammatical problems with the sentence, I do concur with the sense. No Black Friday for me. Spent the day watching people unpack boxes for my new apartment. A lovely cool fall day outside, but I’m not capable of walking at this time. So enjoying it immensely out on my fourth-floor balcony. Happy Black Friday to all those who live for such.
Love this? Yeah @walk2connect
