Some Inspiration for the Signs of Spring



Ok, 2 things. 

1.We lose an hour of time this weekend. Whyyyyyyy? Doesn't the government know that I don't have an hour to give? Do governments mess with the time in Europe? Asia? Canada? I will research this.

Can't we just decide on a time schedule and stick with it? Good Grief. You know what this means....that when I get up for spin/gym in the am, instead of 4:30, it's really 3:30. Isn't that the middle of the night? Can't our work hours change as well?

Oh alright, I guess I'll just take a couple of naps. Oh....nice....naps...yes indeed.

2. This morning during spin class I heard a song at the end of class that I suppose I should recognize but never listened to the words closely. Very inspirational song. With all the endorphins and being at the end of some tough intervals, I just balled big alligator tears which mingled with all my sweat so no embarrassing moment. Interesting how the body and mind work together to produce sweat and tears. This was the next to the last song.  Here are the lyrics:

Man against the World by Survivor

Have you ever walked alone at night
Like a man against the world
No one takes your side
A boat against the tide
When your faith is shaken you start to break
And you heart can't find the words
Tossed upon the sand
I give you a man against the world
All the people cheer 'til the end is near
And the hero takes a fall
Then they'll drag you through the mud
You're only flesh and blood
I have walked the path from dark to light
And they've yet to come to terms
Alone I take my stand
I'm only a man against the world

And love, like a distant reminder
It tugs at my shoulder
It calls me home
I shout, can a single voice carry
Will I find sanctuary within your arms
Someday when the answer's clearer
Someday when I even the score
You'll reach and you'll find me near you
Right beside you
Forevermore

But for now I'll walk the night alone
Like a man against the world
A brand new day will shine
Through the avalanche of time
Now the road's grown long, but the spirit's strong
And the fire within still burns
Alone I take my stand
I give you a man against the world
