Life is a dance - Listen to the music, let it fill your soul, for when you become one with the rhythms and the cadence, your feet will know where to go on their own.

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest criticism and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty and find the best in the others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – this is to have succeeded.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

I wish I could have met RWE - he really speaks to my soul with this quote. Simple. To the Point. Powerful. Beautiful...just beautiful.

Just as a note of explaination - this is what I declared my possiblitiy  to be when I completed the Advanced Course at Landmark Education......

There are days that I succeed a little better than others!!! ;-)

"You Put your right foot in,
you put your right foot out,
in, out, in, out,
shake it all about,
You do the Hokey Pokey
and you turn yourself around,
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!"

Hmmm - sounds like what I do when the bathwater is too hot!!!

But Isn't life like that? you put one foot forward, and typically you pull it right on back, and end up doing all sorts of contortions  till you end up in a spin.

Or is the Hokey Pokey just about being silly????? Doing all sorts of nonsense just for fun??? Hmmm - there's something to that...

I think my "old way" of doing this dance in life was the former version - yup - just keep on goin nowhere and stopping before I got any momentum going. Ending up frustrated and spinning my wheels...

Well, NO MORE I SAY!

My life will be devoted to FUN! Silliness! Laughter! Doing the Hokey Pokey with all my heart.

See ya onthe dance floor!
