“Always in a HURRY, Work and then School”

Sometimes we start things to do in LIFE –  and later on start to think, “What in the world was I thinking?”

Now that I think about  some of the stuff that I do – I really wonder – what in the world,  gets me to think,  that I can do so many tings – and at the same time?

One of the first things that I have always wondered about – was  that,  of “ME”  and the signing up to take a “GYM Class” as  my  first class at School – just after having worked all night?  “Who in the world does that?” Maybe… some ONE that likes  PUNISHMENT and lots of it – even if you are young and in good shape – why try to kill yourself?

 It sure was good  to have two days off work and the weekend off,   from  SCHOOL – at least, I was able to take time off to visit the “O’Fallon Park”  with friends and kind of like this old PHOTO that was taken.

Without this PHOTO, how in the world,  would I have ever been able to remember  what good shape,   that I was in?  May  have to give ‘credit’   to my first class at College,  twice a week  having GYM!

In your first year of College,  what do you remember more than anything else?  Something that in all of your LIFE – – you could  have lived,  and never ever  would  you have had,  the desire to learn – but this first  year  in College –  in your “GYM”  class – we were taught the correct way to stand on your head! “That is right” – and  after  having worked all night – and  really ready to  go home to bed and sleep –  but,  there I was in  this CLASS   – and  – that the most important  lesson for  my LIFE and,  in the world  – that day  – was to learn  “HOW”  to stand correctly on  my  head!

I was able to stand on my head,  doing so the correct way – and was I ever surprised – that I was able to do so – and it was rather easy – once you did it – – there I was doing it – just for the FUN of it!

There is nothing else in the “GYM” classes that I can remember – as I was always playing base ball and basket ball  and running around the assigned areas – just to wake up the body and be prepared to do a bunch of jumps up and down – this way and that. the best part of moving the body , in my book would be dancing – as to dance with the right kind of music – I could dance all night – every chance that I got! – That is where I would lose weight,  if I needed, too  – but in those days – I was just as healthy as I needed to be!

“Just so grateful and Thankful to the Almighty for giving  to me the strength to do all the silly things that I was doing way back then – and for keeping me safe and sound – as I was trying to do , too may things – all at the same time!”        D.V.
