There are so many things that are right about today's post.

First is the incredible artwork of Cheryl, shown above.

Second is using Cheryl's artwork to announce next week's kick-off to our, Third Annual House of Shine Triathlon.

Third is that the winner will receive $100.00, cold hard cash.

Our theme for Triathlon 2010 is, "Hands, Heart, Head."  It means that come next week you and your friends will participate in three days of fun, all the while showcasing the brilliance of - you guessed it - your hands, heart, and head.

No worries.  We know most of you are working, either inside the home or outside the home or on your great summer tan.  We've created triathlon challenges that we expect can be completed in 30 minutes, give or take a few.  Triathlon challenges will be posted each morning at 4:00 a.m. CST and entries must be submitted each day by 10:00 p.m. CST.  We have also worked at keeping challenges simple by focusing on ideas that can be completed with things most of you have around your homes.

Getting excited about the prospect of winning $100.00 or something else fun?  Read on for the schedule and if you have a Planner Pad then pencil us in. Monday will be the official kick-off to our Triathlon, along with a group warm-up that is sure to get you ready for the week.  Tuesday is leg one.  Wednesday is leg two.  And, Thursday is leg three.  Friday is our awards ceremony and the announcement of our winners.

Done, done, and done.

What can you do to prepare?  I suppose if you were overly zealous, you might click here to peruse the m&m Mosaics from last year or click here to relive some of the fun from the year before.  Other than that, nothing.  Absolutely nothing.

Unless, of course, you want to visit us in the Community Forum labeled, Today's Post and ask a follow-up question.  We would love to hear from you.

Shining off until tomorrow...
