5 in the Morning
I had to open the gym this morning. I go in through the side door so I can get lights, TVs, and music turned on before I open up to the regular 5 am group waiting outside the main entrance.
This morning, no one was there.
That regular crowd of about 6 people was not there waiting like every other Friday morning. My first thought was that maybe it was because of my blog post yesterday. My next thought was zombie apocalypse. I felt silly very quickly after thinking these thoughts. The zombie apocalypse should have occurred to me first, of course. I felt like maybe I owed zombies an apology. Or at least the cast of The Walking Dead.
So this oversight on my part, made me think about how much this blog has become a part of my daily, even hourly, experience. When my first post went up and I got such an insane response to it, my first thought was, "If I'm gonna continue with this blog, I really need to know who I am."
And I do. I know who I am. I love nachos and would really love for someone to take me out for nachos tonight.
I am me. You are you. Let's hug.

ReplyDeleteI am sure your readers know that when you are talking about Mormon's/gays/Men/whatever you are not making blanket statements about all. You are simply relating your experiences to us. Keep at it :)
Hugs back at you.
