Good for you! Back when I was taking classes at thegym, I would always offer to help new attendees set up thier “station” because someone had always helped me.

BUT…Even though I would never say so out loud at the gym, I am annoyed with sudden influx of New Year’s Resolutionaries (I’m proud of that made up word) who occupy the treadmills and elypticals, making me wait for one to open up. Then I think, “Good for them. At least they are off thier butts doing something healthy. I was new once, too, it just happened that my resolution was a bikini resolution and not a New Year’s resolution.”

Oh, and if they have cardio classes there, you should take one. I loved the one I used to take. And pilates.

I agree with you–attitude is everything! There is enough negativity in our world today, so as God’s stewards He depends on us to shine our light to everyone we meet each day in a positive way to honor Him. Way to go Courtney–you’re on the right track! I bet Nate loves the nursery @ the gym! Love you, Matt, & that Boy!

Good for you for staying there to work out. I might have felt awkward enough that I would have just left. I try really hard to make sure people around me feel welcome too. Although it does take a conscious effort sometimes. Nicki’s last blog post..Frugal Groceries
