The Gym After Age 80

The Gym

Do I have to go?

Do we have to go every day?

Do I look okay in this outfit?

Light blue Tee and darker tights

The others always seem more put together

Doris is slim and her clothes match

Myrna and Deena need to be close to Doris

Vivian is Asian and a bit bossy

She wants her own space and frowns at me

Sometimes the room is crowded sometimes not

Sue and Pam are my favorite teachers

On Thursdays we dance to music from the oldies!

Thursday is my favorite day.

I feel the rhythm and think of my youth….

The hour passes quickly

I am energized and happy
