Hello All
Last weekend we had the carpets and flooring cleaned in all three Green Apple buildings. Raul, Carol and John have been doing such a wonderful job with general cleaning within the Centre that I wanted to top it off for 2025 with a thorough deep carpet clean. I am very happy with the outcome and I hope you have noticed it too.
I share with you some snippets I have found from things I have written for the newsletters, the E newsletters, the website etc. Over the last few decades.
Comment: how long have you been here Victoria?
Answer: when I tell people that I have been at Green Apple since 1978 and that there are other staff here who have been here also for more than 30 years, the comment is “Well, you must be doing something right!”
Question: why exercise with others?
Answer: at the Green Apple social interaction plays a huge part in the results people can get just from being in the same area at the Centre or in the same exercise group. At the end of the day it’s being able to have a common laugh, and to open your mind to others’ opinions. It may even push you to do your best especially if you are struggling with your exercise.
When we find a bunch of people who can exercise alongside each other in harmony and who find something in common regardless of their age, their social economic status, the type of work they do or used to do, their health, gender, their religious beliefs, their political bent, it has to be pretty unique.
Exercising with others like this we are free to be ourselves without the responsibilities we carry in other aspects of our lives. We can bond without being obligated. We can feel care for our fellow-exercisers and provide support without pressure to perform.
All relevant still!
Happy New Year!
