Dance

I just got home from the club and I realize that even with all of the aches and pains I absolutely LOVE my job (it doesn't hurt that I love my boss too).  I especially love learning and teaching Dance.  I can not imagine living without it.   Such a fun way to improve the health of your body and your mind.   Always challenging and always rewarding.  I wish other people loved it as much as I do.  It is so liberating to just move your body and feel the music and not care at all if you look goofy doing it.  I wish I hadn't let so much of my life go by before I discovered the joy of dance.  Maybe that is the problem.  My body is saying "what the hell are you thinking old woman? Ya shoulda started years ago!".    For now I am  content that I started at all.  It motivates me to see the 60 -70 year old men and women with their knee replacements and hip replacements in there groovin' as much or more than the younger ones.  I will take the aches and pains  - it is all worth it in the end and maybe if you are feeling like you need a bit of fun and excitement in your life you will join me for a jam session sometime - It works wonders on the soul.

First of all, you CAN dance, so I'm sure you don't look goofy. And, I am a bad friend to you because I won't take jam. :) can we still be friends?

You are so silly.....you don't have to dance to be my friend;) And yes, I do look goofy but so do most people....that is the point.

the boys made the bracelets themselves. i had to help abe because he only wanted to string through one buttonhole. you mean you couldn't tell the boys did it themselves?

They looked too good! It looks painstaking stringing them through both holes. I just looked carefully at them because Julia loves them so much. She wore them to school along with her new shirt today!!!
