Sometimes, just getting to the gym is a struggle. Fortunately, my gym is filled with people I love being around. This lady is one of my favorites. Always cheery and genuinely interested in hearing the answers to the questions she asks about you.

Today, Marylou asked me how to use the rowing machine. She likes spinning and zumba but her knee is ailing her right now. She says that zumba is great to keep the aging mind active.  Even though she is unable to stick with her regular routine, she still shows up here every day — working hard and greeting nearly everyone she comes in contact with (by name).
