These are two things I struggle being gracious in my spirit about at the gym:
- Sweaty McSweatsalot: the guy who forgot to bring his sweat towel who is running on the treadmill next to me, and sweat is continually being slung from his elbows onto ME!!
- Karaoke Karol: the gal who is on the stair climber two machines down from me who is singing so loudly that the lady in between us gets off, borrows her daughters iPod, returns and dramatically puts on the earphones, and the singing climber naively says, "Am I singing too loudly?" The iPod lady tells her, "No. I just wanted to listen to some of MY music." Youch. Does this stop American Idol on the stair climber? Nope. Wow.
- Obe Wan Kenobi the Marathoner: the 75 year old guy who runs on the treadmill for 40 minutes, never once opening his eyes, and he has a very distinctive, audible breathing pattern that involves bull-frog, puffy cheeks. The Force is strong with this one. :)
- Grandma & Grandpa Powerlifters: the elderly couple who sweetly help each other through each of the weight machines, wiping one another's brows, giving whispered encouragement and direction.
Everyone has their sound
Let it out now, let it out now!
There's nothing wrong
With living loud!
So let it out now, let it out now!
May you go and live out loud--your own sound-- today, friends! Join the rest of us weirdos! :)
