“Dancing Queen” began playing on the Bluetooth speaker and my body made up its mind. I pushed back the chair, stood up, and enthusiastically, headed for the living room. And I danced, yes, like no one was watching, like I haven’t danced in decades. Fingers snapping, arms swinging! The steps and moves came naturally, and I could tell they’ve missed me – recalling days of long ago when dancing was as routine as brushing my teeth. The steps and moves and I had the best of times!
My heart beat to the magic of the music!
Then when pain arrived a couple days later, I thought, maybe I worked my back too hard. How can something feel so good, then turn out to be almost crippling?
Good health is wealth because over the years, our body’s mechanics will change either rapidly or subtly as though watching the graceful clouds travel in the sky.
That annoying pain made its entrance, caught my attention, but a few days later,
I shooed it away!
Do I have regrets from my living room dancing?
Not at all!
Sometimes rules are meant to be broken, we’ve heard this before, so another moment like that moment when the music moved through me, when I felt alive and younger –
another moment like that moment will come again, I’m sure.
