For this week’s song I have chosen “Hold on Tight” … to your dreams. I had been thinking of what to choose, and then I had been put on hold on the telephone, waiting for an insurance company. So much so I had to hang up after twenty-one minutes because I had a work’s meeting starting; I have to do it all again! Luckily, I could do other work whilst waiting, thanks to the invention of hands-free.
As I was thinking of “Hold on Tight … to your dreams” I was thinking of all the things we “Hold on Tight” and wait for. Is it that Christmas gift, or your next birthday, tomorrow when you will receive that perfect ???, your next child, your new home, your ideal weight. Why as humans do, we do this to ourselves; promise that tomorrow will better if only we had …, or could become whatever it is in our dreams.
Live for today and accept who you are now, then build on that to bring forward a new a brighter future. Yes, it may mean a few pounds lighter, or whatever your dreams may be, but start from now. You start any journey with that first step, and then one step at a time. I can see each pound slip away from the 13 (82.5 kilos) stone mark, and that makes me happy, but I remind myself that my journey started when I was just shy of 15 stone (95.3 kilos).
Good luck with each of your journeys, and please continue with your healthy eating and healthy living regimes; however small an effort you make in your own lives.

Mmm, hold on tight to your dream, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream, yeah
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight to your dream
---
Hmm, it's a long time to be gone
Oh, time just rolls on and on (hold on)
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just-a hold on tight to your dream
---
When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much, but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you go
---
Accroche-toi à ton rêve
Accroche-toi à ton rêve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sens ton coeur se briser
Accroche-toi à ton rêve

When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much, but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you go
---
Yeah, hold on tight to your dream, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream, yeah
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream
Ooh, yeah, hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, yeah, hold on tight
To your dream

Looks like this bus ride may be over soon.
