Team Bonding

For those who really know me, you know how much I struggle meeting new people.

I know...you would think with the line of work I am in, I would be comfortable at it. And if you know my dad, you would think I was a natural!

But I have a hard time meeting new people. I am much more comfortable laying back at first.

I think most people are the same as me. At least I like to think that most people are like me.

Oddly enough: I hate working out by myself! Go figure.

So, it is wonderful to see our team beginning to bond. There is a real sense of camraderie carrying through the group.

Because we are all at different levels, we don't really have a chance to bike or run together at practice. But we do hang around afterward and share stories.

Stories about our families. Stories about how Leukemia or Lymphoma has touched our lives. Stories about the latest celebrity breakups.

I really liked hearing the celebrity stories. Apparently, it is all the rage in Hollywood to do time for DUI. Who knew?

I really am surrounded by some wonderful people. Each week, we get together to train for a common cause. A cause, I am learning, that impacts more people than I ever imagined.

Then we drink. Not in the Hollywood DUI way... hmmmmm... well...ahem...maybe that's why I'm not losing any weight.

But seriuosly, I am humbled to be around such wonderful and caring people. I am equally humbled by all the friends and family that are supporting us, spiritually and financially.
