Affirmation

I have been going to the gym semi-regularly for the past several weeks after taking about a year off.  Before that I went every day for more than 2 years and I was in pretty good shape.  I have a variety of music on my MP3 player (now I use my Blackberry) and there are 5 or 6 hours worth.  I set it to shuffle so I don't hear the same songs all the time.

Except for one.

I keep this song for the last one I listen to after each workout.  It helps center my thought.  I don't know exactly how it does that, but it does.



Affirmation

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone


I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye


I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires


I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye


I believe forgiveness is the key to your own happiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse tv evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity


I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye(Repeat 2)
Until you say goodbye
Oh no no no no no ( Repeats itself many times fading)

I am also a married man, coming to terms and accepting the fact that i am in fact gay.
This has been a tremendously difficult journey for me, ever mindful of our children and a wife who I love and is supporting me as we both try and find where it is our souls need to be.

I look forward to reading back...
