My New Friends

Scientists have published research findings that indicate maintaining friendships and social interactions have added to the life span.  I believe this whole heartedly.  In an attaempt to lengthen my longevity I acquired three new friends this winter.  They are Oreo, Chip and Dark Chocolate. It is becoming a close and sustaining relationship.  I have never felt such a willingness from  my other friends to be helpful and comforting. 

 My new friends tell me only what I want to hear and never focus on my faults or character flaws.  With sincere hearts they offer support from boredom, restlessness and winter depression.  They exhibit qualities not found in my other friends.  Oreo, Chip and Dark Chocolate will never disagree with me or challenge my point ofview.

This trio is very serious about exercise.  Because of my association with them I have now added zumba dance to my workout routine.  Monday and Tuesday I attend yoga class at my local gym and Wednesday I sweat through an hour of zumba.  There are no men in the dance class, but I do see a large group of women who must also know my friends.  If you don't have the support of good pals, there is no way you would willingly jump, sway, clap, and shake your hips and sweat for one solid hour with no water.

I am grateful to my new friends for their devotion to my happiness and well being.  Hopefully, I will quietly expire in the pigeon pose or moving across the gym floor while executing the grape vine.
