HOW CUTE š
So I just got back from another trip to Greece enjoying the sun, beautiful food and company of family and friends. You definitely canāt go wrong over there especially in summer. What a place!! And not gonna lie, if I had a choice Iād probably prefer to still be there however 4 weeks is enough to refresh and re-energise.
One thing I do miss though when Iām away is seeing the people I spend so much time with – my clients. Itās good to reconnect and pick up where we left off as we have a big influence on each otherās lives and spend a lot of time together.
One client in particular is Alison. Iāve been training her for 15 years! Sheās 73 years old. Twice a week every week without fail she comes in to the gym rain hail or shine. She is one of the most determined people I have ever met. Sheās also extremely frail, uncoordinated, stubborn yet kind hearted and one of the most selfless people Iāve come across.
She admits (almost weekly) how much she hates coming to our sessions. And I mean hates it! However she does concede how important it is to keep her quality of life in tact and be self sufficient. And sheās fully committed to that!
Anyway while I was away, Alison being the clumsy little thing she is, had a fall (as old people tend to do) and cracked her ribs. This isnāt the first time sheās fallen by the way. Add to that – shoulder dislocations, broken bones, torn tendons and a fused spine sheās had it all. You could say she is a trooper!
Upon returning from my holiday and finding this out, a quick text was sent through to see how she was and if she was ok…
A typical, blunt Alison reply came back saying āIm fine. See you Tuesdayā
Sheās unbelievable. Nothing stops her even at the ripe old age of 73! Some nasty bruising and cracked ribs (which are extremely painful for anyone thatās had them) doesnāt even come close to getting in the way of her determination to stay active. Itās because she realises the importance of it and for that you have all my respect and attention Alison š Hats off to you!
It does beg the question though… If little old Alison can commit to herself why canāt you?
