So the place where I currently reside is full of crazy characters. The woman downstairs likes to sing off key at the top of her lungs in the middle of the day. The couple across the way like to argue in the middle of the hallway, and yell everything in Spanish except the cuss words. The man down the hall had a sign posted on his door for weeks that told one of his friends to come back once he ‘got back on his meds’ and that he was still very upset with him for stealing his raisin bran. It can get noisy, but they keep me entertained.

Anywho, the other night I’m on my way to the video store and see this figure walking in circles around a tree. Instantly I thought one of my neighbors had really gone off the deep in this time. And it wasn’t a light stroll people, she was gettin’ it okay, lol. As I got closer I saw that she was all done up in her workout gear, complete with headband. I realized that she was getting her workout in and because it was so late, probably didn’t want to walk down the block. Of course, this didn’t stop me from laughing (She switched to another tree as I passed her and continued her revolutions, after telling this story to several of my friends, we dubbed her ring around the Rosy) 

After I composed myself I realized what a statement she was making about dedication. She wasn’t making excuses about not having enough time or it being too late. She got er done anyway. So from now on when I think sleeping in my bed on these cold winter mornings would be so much better than taking myself to the gym, I’ll think, What would Rosy do?
