My iPod ....

I thought I might share some of the music that I enjoy swimming and walking to! I do have a waterproof iPod Shuffle which my dear hubby got me for Christmas from http://www.swimman.com . It is a real iPod Shuffle ... 1gig ... which has been waterproofed for swimming. It comes with a special pair of headphones, along with the regular headphones ... and it really does work in the water!

So .... my playlist varies .... and iTunes makes it so easy to change things up! But I have noticed certain songs which really make me smile and swim or walk faster ...

Swing the Mood ... by Jive Bunny and the Master Mixers
In the Mood ... by Glenn Miller
Kokomo ... by the Beach Boys
Sweet Emotion ... by AeroSmith
Smooth, Maria Maria, Oye Como Va, and several others .... Sanatana
Jesus is Just Alright .... Doobie Brothers
Several Celtic tunes by various artists ...

The waterproof headphones don't even bother me at all anymore .... and I stopped using the neosporin which was kind of messy .... I need to get a picture of my goggle/headphone/iPod rig to post here .... I'll do that soon. But it works really well. I love being alone in the water with my music ... weightless ... it is great! I could probably swim more than I am already .... and will probably up my minutes or start doing it more than 3 times a week ...

Here are the Lyrics to "CALEDONIA" by Dougie MacClean:

I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem
So far away today

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
And now I'm going home
If I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything
I've ever had ...

Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the ladies and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have traveled hard with coattails flying
Somewhere in the wind

(Chorus)

Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames that could not get any higher
They've withered now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands are shaken and the kisses flow
Then I will disappear ...

WOW .... the lyrics were even more apt then I knew at the time! I am enjoying my time with the Accountables ... people can find me there if they want to. I've noticed increased activity viewing this BLOG ... but then, they never did really stop checking on me, did they? Now they are ramping it up to daily visits instead of just occasional hits.

Okay .... gotta go update my Journal ...
