As usual this morning I woke to feed David, I prayed and left to the gym. It has been about 3 years since I have been going to this Gold's Gym. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I stopped going for some reason and now that my son is born I have about 2 months since I have returned... (I'll be right back... It is Sleepy Time...) OK I'm back! Like I was saying, I went to the gym this morning and like always I like to observe the people around me and how they act in this environment. I noticed that so many people are so serious, no one really talks to anyone, no one smiles at anyone and it just makes you feel so tense.
Since, I came back there has been a whole new group of people that come at the same time I come. Every one looks so sad or mad, I'm not sure, but it's got to be one of those. Every day that I go I see those same faces expecting a different reaction but I only get let down by the frown on the faces I see as I enter the room. Today was almost liberating because I decided to smile at every person that gave me "that look" (the one that means "I'm having a bad day" look) and be the bigger person, I got tired of waiting for them to come around. So when I walked in that gym with my big'O grin, as if I just had the best milk chocolate cookie ever, I felt the sun come out behind the gray clouds. I began to see those people lighten up a bit and they smiled back. I was so surprised at what a difference it makes when you simply smile at someone... Don't be surprise that there might be some who blow you off, but you keep smiling they will come around....
So next time your walking around a crowd put your best smile on and remember you don't have to be in front of a camera to say "CHEESE".
(ummm, by the way if you happen to be in front of a camera, NEVER, I MEAN, NEVER SAY CHEESE. I'ts so olds school.)
