Sweatin' with the Oldies

I went to an aquacise class this morning and I really loved it. The class was pretty much a bunch of elderly women and myself. I was reminded this morning how much I enjoy old women. I love them. I love how they all made me feel like I was Jane Fonda with comments like: "My, your legs are strong." "Isn't she jumping out of the water high." "I could tell you were working really hard." It was also pretty fun having old lady chat in the hot tub afterwards. Old women are just so pleasant. You don't have to worry about saying anything clever, current or wildly interesting because some of them can't hear that well anyways and most of them just seem very content to appreciate the small and simple things in life with you. Sister Hinckley once said "At fifty I stopped competing and started living." Years ago I used to go lane swimming quite regularly and my lane swim was always at the same time as an aquacise class. Same demographic - elderly women. During one class I overheard one of the women announcing that she had brought pie to eat afterwards. Isn't that so funny!!! Who eats pie right after an exercise class?? I'm looking forward to the next session.
