For everything there is a season

An old song is on my mind today. For everything there is a season, it was derived from the bible and I like the verse.
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time of war, a time of peace
A time of love, a time of hate
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, I swear it's not too late


So, why is this song important? Well, for me it means a new season of work and health. Yesterday, after all the company left, the entertaining and birthdays over with.... I got back on my treadmill. I wrote out a menu of eating to follow for this entire week. I have a plan. I shall not falter. Like the song says, I time to gain and a time to lose. I shall lose, but it will be a good loss.

I swear it's not too late. : )
