Weekend Roundup - Hope Edition

There’s always hope.  Even in the darkest hour of the darkest day, there’s always hope.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, By Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Here are some articles from this week:

From the Diet Blog, here’s an interesting article which talks about self esteem and its impact on exercise.  I heartily agree.  Without self esteem, you’re going to give up at some point.

Another one from the Diet Blog, this time comparing which is better, vegetarian, vegan or raw diets.  My personal opinion, any diet regime can be healthy as long as you’re smart about it and do the research. However, the more restricted you make that regime (I.E. Raw) the harder it is to balance.

From Almost Fit we have this post about a cheap way to get a lot of organic vegetables.  I haven’t tried CSA’s myself but they seem like a great idea for both healthier eating and supporting local farming.
