As I was running down a hill, I passed a lady & her daughter struggling to walk up the hill. (In normal times I rarely see anyone on this hilly street.) I encouraged them to keep going. I passed them again going up the hill as they were finishing at the top. The woman looked at me & said, “We’re beginners!”

I smiled & told her I was a beginner once too. Don’t give up.
She asked me how I started running/what I did. I shared what I had done & encouraged her to keep at it.
Guess who I see every Saturday now on that hill? Her! She has dragged her whole family along now. (I can’t say they look as happy as she does.) She is kicking butt & able to run more than walk now. I’m so proud of her. It makes my heart happy! She always has a huge smile on her face when she sees me. Love it!!!
Me too some wave and say Hi others make comments like '"Yea it's morning" I won't say what I replied to him LOL but most try to smile so I guess the bottom line is. Something good out of something BAD just hoping they stay with it.

How cool is that, Corrina! You changed someone's life that day. :)
Serendipitous! Happy to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right attitude. Hope she keeps it up.
I wish more people would run and walk. I love saying hi to people I pass, even in my big city. :0)
