Friends

I've been attending a morning water aerobics class at our local YMCA for several years (off and on), but I didn't attend all semester because of class scheduling conflicts.

I went on Friday and so many of the ladies (most of whom are 15 to 20 years older than me with white or silver hair) came up to me and asked how I'd been and told me they were worried about me, missed me, and wondered if I'd been sick.

They were so encouraging when I told them about going back to school and had so much helpful advice and support.

I'm grateful I have this group of friends!
