Off to the gym this morning after struggling just to get out of bed. Below zero and a sharp wind but at least the sun is shining. Usually the parking lot is pretty full but today not so much. As I pulled in and chose the aisle to go down some one else was coming up it. Luckily there were two spaces right next to each other. Unfortunately the one I went into had a big truck taking up part of it so my tail end stuck out. The other fellow parked easily next to me as I had to back out and go for a space a little further away. I resisted the urge to curse out the truck as I didnt want the fellow to think I was cursing him. As I got out of my car I noticed the fellow looking at the space I didn't take and I said "That truck is taking up too much space." He agreed with me and as we walked into the gym we chatted about the chill. I realized this was the first time I had talked to anyone at the gym.
He was one of the older fellows who comes every morning. There is a group of them I have noticed they always smile and nod to each other as they come and go. Occasionally they group and chat but not for long. I usually dont really interact with anyone at the gym just change and get on my treadmill with my ipod. But I was thinking this morning it would be fun to be a part of these old guys smile and nod thing. I have decided that tomorrow morning I will smile and nod at my parking lot fellow if I see him. He probably wont remember me but hopefully he'll smile back. Then spend the rest of his work out wondering why that lady smiled and nodded at him.
