Coffee with my new workout Buddy!

  Waiter What a wonderful way to start my day!  Woke up feeling pretty yucky with this cold and all.  Almost didn’t go to cardiac rehab, but thought about it and knew if I pushed myself I’d feel better.  So off I went.

On Wednesday I had worked alongside an older gentlemen.  We just seemed to be working on the same equipment at the same time so we talked the whole time.  Nice man….same age as my father!

Today at the end of the workout he looked at me and said “would you like to go for coffee”  LOL!! wow…I was touched.  I suspect he is very lonely….so I was thrilled to go with him.  His children live out of state and the one child that lives here is handicapped.  It turned out to be a really nice day. I even worked out longer, I’m up to 40 minutes now!!

Hope everyone is having a great day.  Have a happy weekend also! Do something nice for someone you don’t even know…it’ll make you feel so much better about life!

    It is so much easier to have someone to talk with while you work. And we do get lonely after our mate is gone. I use buddyslim for that now. It is too hot for me to go outside with my stopped up stints (scar tissue) but when I am outside I am really pleased when the bus drivers and neighbors wave and say a few words. Have a great weekend and SMILE AT THE ELDERLY. We love it, Marge

    I agree doing nice things for people is a win-win for all of us!
