A YMCA EXPERIENCE
A WIDOW’S WALK to the 60’s rock music.
“I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS, THAT MAKES ME LOVE YOU SO….”.
THE MUSIC IS PUMPING, OUR HEARTS ARE PUMPING TO THE BEAT
WE FINISHED THE CIRCUIT TRAINING AND ARE POSED AND READY TO POWER WALK, WE WAIT, LIKE RACE HORSES AT THE STARTING GATES
IT’S A MEASURED MOMENT ..I GLANCE TO MY RIGHT…WE ARE, ESPECIALLY THE RECENT WIDOWS, VERY PRESENT, IN THE MOMENT, AS THE MUSIC IS APART OF US….WITHIN US…THE MUSIC IS US. THE WHISTLE BLOWS…AND WE ARE OFF
WE ARE OFF AND RUNNING !!!!! ( WALK-LIKE JOGGING…PUSHING FOREWARD).
OUR 6 DECADES OF LIGAMENTS STRETCH OVER BONE AND(some other strength) PUSHES US FORWARD. OUR 6 DECADES OF MUSCLE STRETCHES OVER LIGAMENTS, AS THE BONE (and some other strength) PUSHES US FORWARD . OUR PROTOPLASM AND ORGANS REMAIN INTACT(hopefully). THE SYMPATHETIC SYSTEM HAS KICKED IN WITH AN EXTRA ZAP OF ADRENALIN.. …WITH DRY MOUTH, AND RACING HEART—– WE ARE SO OFF! OFF, OFF AND AWAY.
THE PASSING YEARS WILL SAY THAT WE WERE SO .. SO FOCUSED, SO STRAIGHT, OUR STRETCH THRUST SO FORWARD. WE ARE SO TRUE (to what feeling?)
SO DETERMINED TO BE THE FIRST —to say what …to communicate what…..?
EXHAUSTING ALL OUR RESERVES —to say what…to communicate what….?
.”…AND THE MUSIC PLAYS ON “I ONLY KNOW I NEVER WANT TO LET YOU GO. CAUSE YOU’VE STARTED SOMETHING NOW, CAN’T YOU SEE???? EVER SINCE WE’VE MET, YOU’VE HAD A HOLD ON ME. IT’S CRAZY BUT IT’S TRUE, I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU”!!!!!!”.
From a member who has benefited from the fine instruction, and an uplifting philosophy. IT’S TRUE the YMCA makes life a whole lot better
Have a good February 28th, 2012(one more day left. in February, it’s leap year remember).
