Stagnant ponds are something I find intriguing and gross: the film lying on the surface, growing daily, is disgusting, but the cause to the film and possible ways of ridding the pond of film are unknown to me. The unknown of what lies below the surface does not appeal to me at all, but wondering if a certain fish or snail or animal will rid the water of such scum does interest me. I do not want to "fix" the pond, merely find out what has the potential to release the pond from the stagnant growth.
Last week, I was outside for too long and earned a sun burn for my lack of preparation. For the remainder of the week, I was unable to do any of my exercises because my back and shoulders hurt so badly. I was unable to stop my muscles from becoming stagnant.
This weekend, my skin returned to its normal pallor and its flexibility returned, which allowed me to return to biking this week. However, after playing volleyball Sunday evening then biking 9 miles my muscles were incredibly sore. The muscles from the small of my back down through my calf muscles ached yesterday afternoon until this morning.
And I realized that stagnant muscles grow pond scum.
In order for you to remain mentally sharp, you must actively engage your brain--crossword puzzles, word finds, sudoku, etc... To keep your muscular physique, you must continue using your muscles--jog, cycle, lift weights, etc.... In order to maintain your spiritual prowess, you must practice your religion--pray, read, get together with others of your faith, etc...
Remain active! Stay away from stagnant. Don't let pond scum get into your life. Do something!
Go.
