…went to bed Tuesday night and woke up today and…it’s Thursday! Completely lost Wednesday in there someplace. I do remember working until three, working out until four, then sitting with, Vanessa, the next girl that came on for the three to seven shift. I stayed her whole shift and talked with her. She was so happy because the club was quiet and I passed the time quickly for her. She’s a great girl, going to school for fitness and nutrition. She’s married to a wonderful guy who is due to be deployed soon. I had such a great time getting to know her better. The only time I had met her was at a staff meeting in August, even though she spent time on the phone with me walking me though writing my first contracts and answering my too numerous questions. Yesterday she was promoted to Master Fit Coach and I was so happy for her. She is a wealth of knowledge on the workings of Koko and has taught me so much. Even staying there the extra three hours last night was so worth it. She taught me a lot about food and even more tips and tricks that would make me a better fit coach. So…that’s what I was doing instead of writing a post yesterday.
I did warn you that now that I’m a bonafide working girl that would sometimes happen. I really do try to not let another day go by without writing, but sometimes what would be “writing time” needs to be time being out there, exploring the world and connecting with people. It is the way a writer’s soul is replenished. Today I woke up refreshed, energized and ready to go, with my life just a bit better for having spent the time chatting with Vanessa yesterday.
It isn’t only the writer’s soul that gets replenished by by connecting and taking the time to get to know someone in in our world. Every person that crosses our path is put there to contribute in some way to our existence. The people we meet hold many amazing new ideas and reveal to us new ways of thinking about old ideas. Who will cross your path today? Go about your day with a bit more awareness of those around you. Who have you never really gotten to know? How might you be changed and blessed by spending a few extra minutes finding out what they are all about?
And so, as another day goes by, I can’t wait to get out there and get going again today and see who enters my world, and …I have written.
