Back in a Magic Zone

Okay before we move on to what that title means, I've got some more crazy trippy glimpses into what goes on in my little brain!!! READY??? Brace yourselves!  In our tribe/our household we are all very into music.  Not just the listening to music, the playing it, the writing it, or the lyrics, but the emotional connections to it, the motivation of it, the healing power of it, the power of music in general, ALL of it. It's truly hard to explain how much we are all into music. That being said, I also believe that music can be used to feed your own emotional needs.  You can take lyrics and make them what you need.
Enter a Magic Zone...
That's exactly what happened to me today at the gym.  I was walking on the {stupid ass} treadmill, thinking how much I hate this walking!!! And well, it's been days since I've felt motivated to do this thing, instead of feeling like it was a burden! And OF COURSE I was listening to my Zune, when a song came on that did exactly what I think music is meant to do, it motivated me, it moved me, it made me think.  Now I know the lyrics of this particular song are meant for something else. I know they are not about walking/training to run a 5k but somehow in that moment I felt the magic that IS music.  Volbeat were singing a song for me, to me about me.  They were telling me what I needed to hear to get through this walk, this low spot in my training.
And some how I made the lyrics of this song fit into what was going on in my little brain in that moment and walk with a regained sense of freedom and actual joy. I revisited why I am doing this whole thing. Why it's important to concern myself with my health and well being. All of it. I made the song work for me. Now right this minute, I would suggest that you all visit youtube and look up the song Magic Zone by Volbeat{with lyrics} so you can realize just how freaking crazy I really am...  Okay, if you don't want to go listen to my crazy song, I am gonna type the lyrics out for you:

Hide or Alone
You make it feel so home
Silence is not even there no more
You make it feel at ease
Something to embrace
A heart that's forever believing it
Life ain't that good
that it's worth dying for
But baby I'll always
take a bullet for you
Hold on tonight
before tomorrow
is gone
A wake up call
greeting me with a smile
A new day is born
and the old is behind
Million crazy butterflies getting drunk
we are one
{chorus}
**I'm down on my tail
but I'm up and I
can feel it again
Angels wings unfold
and the devil sitting
moaning alone
I've been down
but I'm back
in a Magic Zone**
Walking through life
never thought
that I could
finding a soul mate
and marry her too
We're distorted but
we fit like a glove
Pleasure and pain
will walk
hand in hand
No place to run
take it all
day by day
What it takes
What it makes
Let it breathe
Celebrate
{chorus}
repeat first verse

 YEP! I am certifiably nuts! Any normal person could see/hear that that song is not about training to run a 5k or the people/things a {crazy} person would be motivated to run the 5k for. BUT I am not normal, I am crazy!  And I am motivated by the music in my head!!!! 

 I may be crazy, but I made it... all the way

 And in record time{for me!}

 And this rowing, exercise freak ~well

 We're Distorted but We Fit Like a Glove

Look out Saturday, I may be the fat chick jiggling and panting and sweating and walking slowly ~But I will also be smiling and thinking about all the worthwhile reasons I'm do this

  I'm Back In A MAGIC ZONE
