The Things We Say -- Another lesson on the power of words

Have you ever overheard people talking about you?

It happened to me this morning.

I went to the bathroom stall at the rec. center this morning after my workout on the eliptical. I had forgotten that Masters swimming had just gotten out and the ladies were in there changing.

For the last two Fridays and several times last year I've been the substitute coach for Masters swimming.

Today I heard, "What Jenn taught me last Friday really helped me with my stroke." Another lady said, "I know, I'm so glad Jenn's been coaching us on Friday." And another lady said, "Yea, she's really good." "It's been great to have the mix of coaching."

I smiled all the way home today. And now that I've written it down I can hardly help from smiling.

I knew these ladies appreciated me. They've told me before. But somehow catching them talking good about me feels like a gift from God.

Yes, I think it is.
