“Are you ok, sweetheart?”
I heard this calming and concerning voice while resting between my sets. From last few days, I try to avoid my air pods/phone during my workout. It does help me to connect with my body and myself during my early morning gym hours.
“Yes, I am” I smiled back looking at the gorgeous lady who seemed to be in her late fifties or early sixties.
“Oh, so you are taking a break between your workout” her voice seems to be calmer and relaxed now. “Yes, just a small break before I start my next set” I replied. I was touched by her empathy. The next thing I heard myself saying to her “Thank you for checking, it did feel good.”
“That’s ok, we all need that, don't we?”
“Yes, so true” I told her with a smile and looked at her while she continued her workout. I wished I spoke to her more just to know more about her. There was something magical about her. The vibes, calmness and the concern - all were in sync. This small conversation made my day. It reminded me that you don’t have to do something big to bring a smile on someone’s face. It’s a small act of kindness and connection we all need :).
