Equinox, not the event, but the name of my gym is where you will find me most mornings. I leave about 6:00 each morning and walk the seven blocks to my gym for a spin class. The photo is evidence of how I look on the walk home----sweaty and not so cute. I walk past a senior living center on the way home and even on the cold days, several elderly people are sitting out on the sidewalk sipping coffee and socializing. One elderly man is always dressed very nicely and insists that I stop and shake his hand. His name is Bob. Without fail, Bob always says, "may I tell you that you are looking lovely this morning?" I know I don't, but I do notice that when I walk away I have a little spring in my step and a smile on my face. Today a new guy was sitting with them and he had to add his two cents by saying, "I like that wet look you have goin on."
It doesn't take much, so go ahead and make someone's day.

i love picturing an old guy telling you he likes your "wet look!" i like it too...
What a lovely human being Bob is. And you too, wet look and all. :)
That is so wonderful that you can each make each other's day just a little bit better. Just a darling blog, Jan.
BTW, you look wonderful!
I need a bob in my life!! Or maybe I just need to be the bob in someone else's life.
You look great mom!
Loved this post. What is the city going to do without you when you move? The wet look is the new black, so you are right on top of things.
