After joining the YMCA, the first thing I wanted to try was a water exercise class. It is very early so I figured could be back in the house probably before my parents awoke. Waking up was a shock to my system, but I was determined, so I made myself move and got myself there. When I got out to the pool, I stood there for a minute trying to figure out where I was supposed to go. I saw a lifeguard looking woman talking with another lady so I went on over to them. The woman said hello and with a big smile asked if I was the new water aerobics instructor. I laughed out loud and told her this was the first time I was attending the class. She laughed also – she was the instructor. The class was a great workout, but more than that, it was fun and made up of a small community. Everyone introduced themselves and they told me about the other events that they did together. It was much more than I bargained for, but in a good way. The whole experience started the day out on a very positive note.

I Found God today in friendly and funny people.
