my dear friend
Wristband Number: 17388
for over a year, i went to the YMCA and took exercise classes. 99.99% of the time, i was the only male in these classes – did that bother me? no, b/c the instructor was phenomenal. cut to now, where i’ve come to a crossroads entailing a quality (and free) workout at my employer vs the joy & welcoming that i’ve known for so long. the world being what it is, i made a decision based on finances…today being my final class, the instructor presents me with this wristband, expressing her appreciation for having me and what i bring to class, etc…me…wow. i’m blindsided and floored.
