Last week was my final day volunteering at the Senior Center. I'm really going to miss it. I truly enjoyed working with these people and becoming such good friends! They taught me so much. One lady we worked with, Ruth, was completely blind, yet she always came and participated with a grin on her face. We had many discussions about her disability and how it effected her physical activity level and how she managed to always stay so positive...She always would answer quite simply, "Why bother with complaining when you can move!" I love that! We all have so much to be thankful for and that is one thing I am truly passionate about...moving & exercising. I loved teaching chair aerobics...it was always a blast! Some of the men in our class called me "drill sergent!"...At least they got a work out, right?! That was our whole point anyways...to promote physical activity among older adults.
