Day 124 – Dance While You Can

Today as I was tidying up around the house I was listening to music, as I usually do while I’m cleaning. I was kinda bobbin my head and singing quietly. I was thinking about how much I love, love, love to sing. I just don’t feel like my blessing was the pipes- that went to my sister. Vinny and the kids always tell me I sing amazing but I think they may be biased. Anyways, I was thinking of the blog and how it’s getting me to do things intentionally each day that I normally wouldn’t and I said to myself “Go ahead, why not? No one’s here…belt it out!” And that is exactly what I did.

I sang out loud - as loud as I could, I danced around…cleaning up and standing by my deck slider looking around at all the people outside walking by, the boats, the water, the action! Have I mentioned how much the frigid winter makes you embrace and fall in love with the nice weather and beauty of the spring/summer???  From an Arizona girl, that’s an appreciation you don’t understand until you experience it.

So anyhow, at my house I have a book called “Dance while you can.” I initially bought it as a cute decoration for a stack of books with flowers on it. But it has some of the neatest sayings inside and one of my favorites is:

“I will not stand to the side

And allow the music in my heart
To fade away and die
I will dance to my own life song. “

That’s it! That’s me! I have always lived my life with courage, strength, love and adventure- truly dancing to the beat of my own heart…and with that I allowed myself to dance around and sing out loud and embrace the life I’ve been blessed with today. #HGAL #HappyFriday #dancewhileyoucan
