I went to the gym this morning. Today’s my day wear out the elliptical machine (LOL). The aerobic machines are on the second floor. The row of ellipticals overlooks the free weight room. There was one guy swinging a weight in an arc as if he were swinging a golf club. The way he was swinging the weight blocked another guy from using a weight lifting device. The golfing guy continued oblivious to the other guy. The other guy stood there waiting for the golfer to stop. When the golfer stopped, he paused, then began another set. I thought, oh, oh, I wonder how this is going to work out. The golfer noticed the other guy and stopped. He started talking to him. I heard them laugh and knew they worked out the spacing issue. The golfer modified the area in which he was swinging. The other guy used the weight lifting device. It goes to show that we can usually work things out if we stop thinking solely about ourselves and start talking with each other. When we work together, life is so much better.

Today’s Power Thought ~ A Good Way to Travel
We travel a lot further when it’s our way and not my way. Weaving our way through the field of compromise brings big benefits.

COVID-19 Is a Bummer – It Can’t Stop Good Things From Happening
Here are a few of the good things I witnessed or experienced today:
- My rose bush keeps on giving me red rose after red rose. I love its beauty. It also teaches me a lesson as well. If I want to enjoy the beauty of the red roses, I have to enjoy its thorns when I prune it back. It’s a lot like life. Grateful.
- I am amazed at the spirit of the people who live in this area. No one complains, everyone is keeping social distance, and kind words are shared when passing each other. We’ll get through this. Yes we will! Grateful.
We’re another day closer to winning this battle. Don’t be pulled underwater by the naysayers, we are going to get through it and come out better. Yes we Will. Pull together.
The little things are priceless treasures to me. They brighten my day. I hope your day is filled to overflowing with the little things that make life worth living.
Grateful for all the above.
