If you don't start swimming you will sink like a stone!!

Thursday, July 22, 2010

From one of my favorite Artists, Bob Dylan


Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.


This is what I needed to hear today. I have some stressful situation going on I don't care to bi%$h about to you fine people. This morning I got up stressed. The first thing that came to my mind was "I need need to go to the gym" That is a great feeling!! Things are changing, my attitude is changing. My health is becoming 1St choice.
Have a great day today sparkies!!
What are you swimming for? emoticon emoticon

    Bob Dylan is one of my favorites, too. Sorry to hear about your stressful situation. That is enormous progress, that you want to go to the gym to work through it. Just hang in there until you have a chance to work it off. Things will look remarkably different once you get a little distance from it. Good luck, and keep doing the next right thing and you will get through it.

    I love the positive attitude. I blogged today about what's keeping me from swimming (which in the end was a whole lot of nothing and excuses).
But I'm taking your blog as a sign. I should go swimming.

Take care and I hope things get better. Exercise will be a great way to melt some of that stress away.

    You know that things are changing on the inside when you respond to stress by wanting to work out instead of heading straight for your comfort food--yay! Sorry you have some stressful situations, sweetie; hang in there, you will make it through and be stronger on the other side.
