Most days, I love you.
You are there for me, pretty much whenever I need you.
You are never late, you never forget about me, you are there for me to hold onto.
You make me a better version of who I am.
You give me feedback that is constructive (and sometimes a little painful to hear).
But some days, I never want to see you again.
It’s not usually your fault – it’s just that when I’ve had a long day and I know we should hang out, I just choose not to. And then I feel guilty, because you’re probably hanging out with someone else.
But you wait. Tirelessly… you wait for me.
Until I lace up my sneakers, plug in my earphones, and we get that party started.
Thank you, Elliptical.
I love you from the bottom of my box of Girl Scout Cookies,
Jenn

Lol j love this! And I wish I could write a love letter to an ellipticL, but as it turns out it woukd probably be a really passive aggressive, mean, hate letter!
oddly enough that is the title to the book my first therapist I had after being diagnosed with BPD gave me…I have that relationship with a lot of things
@Kimberly Rae- yeah, I definitely have some passive aggressive letters to write, too 😉
@Jenn- yup, that's a very famous book. It is the inspriation for my title, lol.
Great post.
Oooooh —I love the elliptical trainer, too. But when I'm too lazy to drive to the gym, I Nordic walk in my neighborhood.

A lovely post. Saw you on SITS featured blogger and can't resist checking out your post. The title was very intriguing. Well I love your blog and how sweet that both you and your husband blogs. Have a great day.
Thanks for visiting my blog:) Love this post. And can very much identify. I'll be elliptically away myself later today.
haha, great post. You captured the essence beautifully =)
Awesome post!
YES. Man I gotta get to the gym.
Great post!! Happy Thursday!
I love this! I have a love/ hate relationship with my elliptical. You definitely make me feel like I need to reestablish a relationship with my elliptical. Clever post!
