I haven't had to write essays for over 35 years. I am actually enjoying my English class. I'm learning more now than I did then. I am enjoying the process of learning how to write better. I decided to post my essays I've written just for the fun of it.
My Dearest
Treadmill,
Our relationship is one that will last for
miles and miles. I appreciate that you are there waiting for me each day I need
you. You are willing to go on a walk whenever I want, and I appreciate that you
give me so much of your time. It could be raining, snowing, or one hundred
degrees outside but you make me feel safe. The view I get to admire through the
windows while I walk, of the meandering creek, the tall evergreen trees, the
forest critters, and the birds rejuvenates my soul.
I love so many things about you, your wide
belt with traction that keeps my tennis shoes from slipping, the color of black
you wear looks good on you and doesn’t clash with anything I choose to wear,
also when I get too hot your fan will cool me off. You even let me choose
whether to have it on high or low. Your willingness to let me take our
relationship fast or slow lets me know you want what is best for me. On the days
I play with my friend, Blue Bicycle, you don’t get upset with me. I love you
all the more for that.
My heart broke a couple of years ago when
you left me. You thought I was using and abusing you. You were broken and
refused to be with me. I felt awful. I researched with the treadmill doctors to
see why you wouldn’t run for me. It was a miracle, but I found the part needed
to bring you back to me. When it showed up at the doorstep it didn’t take long
until our relationship was repaired. I was so grateful you forgave me.
I am a better person because of you. You
relieve my stress, and I am happier. I know you will help me to live longer. I
treasure my moments with you so much that my mornings are scheduled around our
time together. Let’s go the distance babe. When your power is turned on, your
belt starts, and my feet get moving, my heart beats for you in a true musical
harmony of love.
With Love, Linda
