the girl in the yellow shirt.

I have been going to Zumba every week.  Of course there is those regulars that come, and then sometimes there is new blood in the class.

I use to hide in the back of the class, and then I realized I stay more motivated if I am in the front.  The downside is that I have to see myself in the full length mirror.  It isn't the most desirable look...and last week I had a major sweating problem.  Oh, and the poor people that stand behind me, they really should know better.

The upside to being in the front...I get to see a good view of everyone in the class in the mirror.

Last week there was a cute girl in a yellow shirt.

She is tall, rather slender, braided pig tails, and guess what?  Smiles the entire time she is watching herself in the mirror.

While I am trying not to look at myself, this girl is smiling at how she looks. When I do get a glimpse...I am not about to smile at how I look...and then this chick decides to smile. Whaaa!!!?

I spent most of the hour watching her.

What an example the girl in the yellow shirt was to me.

First of all she looks like she was having fun.
She was smiling at how she looked doing it.
I couldn't decide if she knew I was watching her or not...but she didn't care if I was.
She had a cute Zumba swagger.

Every day since I have thought about the girl in the yellow shirt.

Goal for this week...

Smile more and have a swagger for life.

When I've been to Zumba I'm smiling because I'm laughing at myself, but what a great goal!! I may steal that goal....

I know who that girl is! It's YOU in the not-so-distant future. Go ahead, Yvonne, buy yourself a new yellow shirt, and put on your best Zumba smile!! You could be someone's yellow shirt girl!

One of my all-time favorite posts. I think other than the girl in the yellow shirt, we all need to smile more when we look at ourselves in the mirror.
