We have all been new people at some time, whether it was the new kid in school, or new to a town, or new to TV. I have so enjoyed meeting new people in the different classes. Usually people go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I try to at least smile when I see new people or say hello. One of my favorite sayings is, "there are no strangers here, only friends we haven't met." We never know when a small act of kindness could make someone's day.
springfield, From at TV wannabee: You sound like a great person, and I would be glad to have you as my next door neighbor or fellow class participant if I ever move to TV. I hope you have a more positive experience in your exercise class in the future.
