Subject: Encouraging the neighbor...WOW My wife helped our neighbor finish mowing her yard last night after she had a long bike ride and pushed mowed for three hours in our yard. The neighbor is heavy and is having back issues. She is two years from retirement from a job that has crazy weekly rotating 12 hour shifts. I went over tonight and visited with her. I suggested that no job was worth the pain she was going through and that she should come along with us the the local gym where she used to have a membership. While she agreed that we had valid points, she doesn't feel that she can quit yet. Finally she said, "My beer is getting cold sitting out on the deck." A beer sounded so good right then as I gingerly walked back sore from another workout with the trainer. Maybe it's time to train less and enjoy more. |
