#ReadThisNOW: The weekend edition of things you should know!

It is good, I think, from time to time, to remember what it is that we honor and celebrate on holiday weekends. They're not just days off. They are days to remember. That's why I've shared the video above. 

For the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King... sing! 

This will be anything but a quiet news weekend before... Right now, across the country, the federal government is still shutdown. 800,000 people who work for the government - and perhaps many more who are contractors - are working without pay or aren't working at all... as the shutdown enters the 29th and 30th days this weekend. The POTUS is going to make a "special announcement" later today, women are marching all over the country while millions of others are dealing with insane Winter weather all over the country. 

I don't know what you are going through this weekend... but if it's something rough, just remember that storms... pass. Things may be bad for a rough for a moment... but they ultimately get better, you get stronger and you live through things. 

My therapist, on Friday, reminded me that we need to focus on the wins... focus on the places where great things have happened. Change isn't always about constant wins... it's about wins, setbacks, successes and failures... so long as you keep moving forward. Losses, mistakes, errors... they happen. They're inevitable. Sure, they are moments. Sometimes they seem to be moments which won't end. But... they don't define a life. 

You define your life. Not everything happening around it... or that influences it... but ultimately you do define it. 

These tough times... they do not define you. 

That's #TobysTake. 

As always, thanks for choosing to #ReadThisNOW. You do have a choice. I am thankful you've made it. Let's get into it... 

These NORWEGIANS are just brilliant! Did you see this? Why can't all snow removal be this easy? 

And now... for those of you with RED HAIR... you truly are nature's unicorns... and science backs it up!
