Weightlifting For Dummies
I was in the check-out line at the grocery store yesterday and saw a little booklet titled, “The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Prayer”. I believe no comment is my best politically correct action here.
Anyway, it did get me thinking of how many “idiots” and “dummies” guides there are. I have no idea of the actual number, but I’m sure it is an astounding figure. After all, most of us are clueless in many areas. Common sense comes to mind with a few people I know.
Seriously, the idiot guides do give us a chance to delve into matters that we would otherwise consider to be over our heads or just too much trouble. Yes, we are clueless and lazy. More of my friends faces are flashing before me.
No, really seriously, I mean it. Dumbed down is the way to go. Simplicity is beautiful. Life is getting to be way too complex. That’s why we are so stressed out. We can’t get to home plate because someone has added extra bases. Lots of them.
The day job is not just work, but questions, phone calls, pissed off customers, angry bosses. I forgot to bring lunch and I’m friggin broke! I am behind and will have to work the weekend, again.
What can we do to survive the onslaught? The war, the economy, the bird flu. Where is the bird flu? If only I had some place to go where I could unwind and just focus on one simple thing that makes me feel good. What’s a dummy like me to do?
Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Whew, I’m glad I remembered. See you at the gym.

Oh yeah, going to the gym or even spending time to workout at home can make a lot of difference with regards to stress.
