Open Letter to My Gym
Dear Gym,
I have fallen in love with you. When I see you in the morning light I find I have to catch my breath and my heart starts racing. When I hear the bustling sounds of energy it helps me reach down and find my own motivation to start the day. I look forward to seeing the familiar faces and to meeting new acquaintances while enjoying everything you have to offer.
