Give Me a High 5!

April 17, 2014

Today, April 17, 2014, is National High Five Day. When I think about high fives, the first thing that comes to mind is my three little boys at home. hi5 My youngest is 2 years old, and one of the first celebratory actions he learned (as did my two older boys) was giving a high five. We give high fives for many reasons…

…to say great job!
…to say you rock!
…to say I like you.
…to celebrate.
…to say good game.
…to congratulate.
…to motivate.

The fun and energy that comes from this universal action is contagious and it brings a smile to the high five giver and the high five receiver. Go ahead and YouTube epic high fives – you can't help but get excited.

So, close your eyes and imagine I am giving you a virtual high five…
