After spending the day with Mary at home, I knew it was time for me to get to the gym. This was my first outing by myself since I had shaved my hair. I put a bandanna on and a baseball cap on over it. It really did take a lot for me to walk out the door. I know, pretty silly. I stopped off at Target (me procrastinating) to get a couple hats for me and Mary. This was probably worse than if I had gone straight to the gym. It's funny who will stare and who doesn't. Actually, I tried not to make eye contact with anyone.
I got the hats and had no more excuses. Oh, I could have kept shopping, but I didn't want to go in to any more stores! I called my husband for some support, and he reminded me that it really doesn't matter what others think. It's not about them. If I want/need to do something bad enough, I just need to do it. I love him! (He is living this by example in his new job.)
I got to the gym. Oh yes. There were some who stared. But I stared back. Back, Abs, and 50 minutes of Cardio. I probably had one of my best workouts in quite a while. At one point (I won't tell you why) I almost even pulled off my hat and scarf! I know...getting crazy, huh? When I was finishing up with my Cardio, I heard my favorite song. For those of you who really know me, it won't be a surprise who sings it. My rock star crush, Steven Tyler.
Every time when I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past in gone. It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way. Everybody's got the dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin. You got to lose to know how to win.
Half my life is in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true. Oh, All these things you do come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the years, Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears.
Sing with me, just for today. Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away.
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the years, Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears.
Sing with me, just for today. Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away.
Dream on, Dream on, Dream on, Dream until your dreams come true.
This has become my song. It makes so much sense along side of my training, where I am at right now in my life, and along with what I am going through with my sister.
My Season. Don't live in the past. You don't know what tomorrow holds. Have some dreams, but don't wait to go for them. Start yesterday and work for them today. My Life.
