It was a little disconcerting for this couch potato to start moving. I think exercise helped me lose weight but more than that, it calms me while at the same time giving me energy and focus. In addition, it helps me to know I have kept an agreement I have with myself about moving since I do a lot of typing which means I sit ... a lot. Rediscovering my passion for being in the water was a real joy. I love walking and running in the water. I get into rhythm that is refreshing and mind-clearing. A side benefit is a time when I have no computer or electronic devices to distract me. If God wants to speak to me I am ready, willing and able to listen without any interference. My body now expects me to move every day. If I cant get to the gym because of a meeting or other obligation (which is rare because I now schedule things around exercise) I cant wait to get back to the water--my second home. I truly believe we were all made to move. Otherwise we would not have arms and feet and joints that move thousands of ways. We are truly God-designed to move.
