After each Pure Strength session, we celebrate all of our hard work with a super fun get together. It's where the morning crew (because the ladies have little to no make-up) get to reintroduce themselves with new faces...;)) It is great fun because we all get to visit - without catching our breath between sets - and get to know one another a little better - without wet, sweaty clothes...:)) And last night, I was able to celebrate with the Fall crew.
This group of people has really become my family. I look forward to seeing them every day (or every other day), I miss them when they are not in class, and I couldn't wait to celebrate with them before Sunday came. We had such a wonderful time! A few of the girls performed a hilarious version of the 12 Days of Christmas - appropriately titled, The 12 Weeks of Torture (look for it on my wall soon); we played a few games and it was nice to see that the enthusiasm in the gym carried over to the evening's events. The family atmosphere and the laughter from the evening is what I hold very close to my heart and I feel SO grateful to be around such kind and thoughtful people. And how lucky I was to see and experience that kindness in a very personal way this round when we sponsored a family in need.
Our PS family came together in a BIG way to bring cheer to our sponsored family. With their donations, this Christmas will hopefully ease the sadness from their recent tragedy and help renew their hope and spirit. This is a really good family with really great kids and I am so blessed to be part of this gift. And if you have a little room in your budget, and can live with a little less this holiday, please consider helping someone in need.
Thanks again to all who helped with the party and with our sponsored family. You all are amazing people and I'm pretty sure you know that you are each very special to me!
Have a great week...:))
