Give Thanks--Smile

There is a gentleman at the gym who is probably 75+.  He has white hair and keeps it slick and parted to the side.  He rides the bike and lifts some weights.  He is one of my gym friends. I ask him how his new knee is doing and he asks me how my races are going.

Today, he said he knows that I am doing well because I am smiling more.  It is true.  I feel strong and more confident.  More capable of doing new things. I appreciate all of the kind people at the gym. I have lots of reasons to smile.  I am trying to do it more often and be more grateful.  We have a comfortable life and are blessed with good family and friends. Can't ask for much more.
