Day 64

Most YMCA's offer child care, and the one I go to is no different. When I go to workout in the afternoons, I see teachers leading kids back and forth from the pool and gym, or pushing babies around in those super-sized baby carriages.

Today, as I was in misery on the bike, I looked over and saw one of the teachers with a few older kids painting a mural on the glass. Tulips and daisies. And both the teacher and kids seemed to be having a great time. It immediately made me smile- a shot of color and brightness in the midst of misery and sweat.

So just when it seems that you can't go any farther, there is sweat in your eyes, and time is standing still- take a moment to look around and see the flowers :).
