She’s always right. She’s my mom and she was telling me on Mother’s Day how she gets herself to the gym almost every day.

Now this woman is 85, and wears a back brace due to her crippling scoliosis. She has had back surgery and a number of operations for gall bladder, hip surgery, and other reasons that I don’t even remember. She aches when she walks and has a hard time getting around.

So when I asked her how she can possibly get motivated to get out of the house to get over to the community gym, she said,

“Oh, that’s easy. I call Mabel.”

“But I thought Mabel was in worse shape than you
are?” I asked.

“Oh yes, she hurts all the time. But we both need to get
to that pool over there and move around because we
know that we will feel so much better if we go.”

“Would you get there without her?” I asked.

“Oh, I don’t think so,” she replied. “I need her to help me get me out of the house. That’s how we do it.”

Sometimes Moms know best. If she can get to the gym when she is decades older, then why can’t I?
