Slice of Life
When I went to Aquarobics at the Y yesterday morning, I walked in just ahead of a mom with her young daughter. The daughter was carrying a covered dish and she carried it like it was very heavy. She hurried across the room to the others in day camp, eager to set her heavy dish down.
I was a little late and the desk clerk wasn't behind the counter to sign me in. I looked around at the kid things going on and soon Mandy came and checked me in. I went past the room where the Aerobic exercise was going on. The group was punching out in front of them, left and right, while stepping up and down on their stair unit. They looked so energetic, and everyone was in sync, moving as one unit.
As I approached the women's locker room, one of the teens came out with a younger girl. The older girls said to her companion, continuing her conversation, "Now, I'm dating my best friend's brother." "Your best friend's brother?" the younger girl repeated, as a question. As they went around the corner away from me, the teen repeated again, "My best friend's brother." And they were gone.
When I got into the pool yesterday morning, it was shockingly cold, but it was such a hot day that the icy cold feeling was welcome. Soon the water felt as warm as I needed it to be. It felt perfect.

What a perfect title for this entry. I really do enjoy slices of people's lives in the blogosphere, just every day observations and the writer's take on them.
Happy Tuesday, NJ. :)
