Money’s too tight to mention
I got laid off from work, my rent is due
My kids all need brand-new shoes
So I went to the bank to see what they could do
They say, “Son, looks like bad luck’s got a hold of you.”
Money’s too tight to mention.
I can’t get an unemployment extension
I called up my brother to see what he could do
He said, “Brother, I’d like to help you, but I’m unable to
So I went to my father, oh, my father
He said, “Money’s too tight to mention.”
Oh, money, money, money
I can’t even qualify for my pension
Money’s too tight to mention
We’re talking about money, money
We’re talking about money, money
We’re talking about money, money
We’re talking about money, money
What are we all to do?
When money’s got a hold on you?
Money’s too tight to mention
With apologies to Simply Red for appropriating their lyrics, but it seemed like the thing to do, because I’ve been laid off from work.

Loosing your income is never easy, even when you are in the same boat as many others…it doesn’t help. But to relieve some stress, hit the weights….hit ‘em hard! They won’t talk back. They won’t ask for rent. They won’t refuse you. And they won’t dissapoint you. They will do more for you than you will for them. And you will feel like you can take on the world when you are done!!
It will help put your mind into more of a positive place. Trust me, I know! And when you think, "No, I can’t today, I’m too tired." THAT"S when you need to hit ‘em the hardest…you WILL have had your best workout to date!
Best wishes for you!
And thank you for the encouragement on my blog…it goes a long way!
