Best Friends

Yesterday I got some news from my chiropractor that I wasn't thrilled about. Nothing Earth shattering, but still not thrilled. On top of that, he said that I shouldn't workout until I get a clean bill of health from my regular doctor. Well this upset me even more. I love going to the gym and sweating like crazy for an hour or so. Pushing myself harder on the weights than I did the previous week. Nothing felt so good.

So yesterday I was in a blah mood from that news. My best friend Laura called and we talked for a little bit. She distracted me with what was going on in her life, but I was still feeling blah. I went to class as usual and maintained my blah feeling, taking notes and trying to focus, but it just wasn't happening.

Once class was out at 8pm, my other best friend Mike came over and we walked to the beach thinking we'd just walk around and talk about our days. Well he took everything out of his pockets and laid it carefully on his flip flops and started walking into the water. I took off my flip flops and walked in (keeping my cell phone on me so he couldn't drag me in or splash). Sure enough, he flopped in the water. After a while he finally convinced me to wrestle with him in the water (taking out my phone just in case) and all of the troubles of my day disappeared when he dropped me in. I lost miserably, but had a fun time. Soon after we left soaking wet and walked back home. Flip flops squeaking as we walked and the warm breeze drying us off.

Thanks Mike for making me smile on my blah day.
