Running today - why has it been so hard to motivate? I like to run. I like the shade of pink it blushes my cheeks. I like the twist I feel in my abs. I like singing to the cats that sit nearby curiously watching me. I like the music I pour into my ears. This is what I need to motivate me I think - my music. Some days its Dave Matthews, Indigo Girls, Kesha, Eminem - depends on my mood. Usually I settle back on Van or the Belfast Cowboys singing me Van.
A favorite is a Youth of a 1000 Summers. I wonder what Van is singing about? (mental note: add that to Google list) I know musicians have their intent, but why can't I create my own?
Today I needed 1000 Youth to carry me. A sweet bird of youth in my soul. Making me skip and dance and move forward in movement and song. Telling me I look radiant. Lighting up the world. Ha! in my basement, black sweats, yesterdays makeup, knot on top of my head. But that's not what they're telling me. I will listen to the youth urging me on with their tambourines and trumpets and harmonies. I can be the king of the mountain this morning.
Find it on itunes. It is well worth the .99. It will get you moving - it worked for me today. As for those youth - I might just ask them to run with me again tomorrow.
