“September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day” Neil Diamond
Well, it’s been another quick season here at Towers Country Club. However, before we start loading up our back-to-school lunchboxes and begin putting away our summer clothes for another year, I thought I would send out a quick article to tell you just how very proud I am of each of you for participating in our summer activities and programs.
You know, most days, maybe you don’t even think I notice how often you visit us in the gym. Maybe you don’t even realize just how much you are missed when you’re not around. Well, I’m here to tell you…I take note of your participation and you are certainly missed when you’re away.
Every day, I watch our gang come and go into the gym. I know that many of you are suffering with certain medical limitations and ailments, and I also know that many of you sometimes lack the energy or motivation to come down to visit us.
But still you do.
I think it’s terrific to see that our group of steady exercisers has really made fitness a part of their lives on a regular basis. Many of you tell me that when you go to Florida for the winter season, you continue your exercise. Again, I applaud your determination. It’s not easy.
Some of you, (and you know who you are), visit with me day after day, despite great pain and discomfort. I think it’s great that you’ve decided to make us a part of your day. I’ll always encourage your efforts. They never go unnoticed.
Visiting the gym to pedal the bike, walk the treadmill, or even use our weight machines is an easy way to give yourself an edge against chronic disease, depression and stress.
So many people have told me that it is on the days when they least wanted to participate in exercise that they actually felt the most benefit. That’s because, for the most part, exercise puts our hormones into action, and lifts our spirits (kind of like when we eat chocolate).
And it’s not just the gym that’s been active this summer. I’ve watched you attend aerobic classes, swim in the pool, play tennis and enjoy golf.
Trust me, I see it all, and again, I’m proud of you.
So as the leaves start to turn color, and the air becomes crisp, and we start to wrap up another summer season, remember this: There’s this guy in the gym who’s really proud of you for participating in all that Towers Country Club has to offer.
There are unique opportunities here for each of you. I hope that you are taking full advantage of them.
As we enter into the fall Season, I wish all of you a renewed sense of happiness, coupled with a reconnection to old friends and most of all, a newborn awareness and insight into the beauty of your own lives.
…I applaud you…Encore!
