The Dance

If you can walk, you can also dance. All cultures have a type of dance, mostly as an expression of joy. It makes one wonder about the first human being to dance---perhaps a cave man (or woman) expressing love of life? Dancing is not only beneficial to the body but brings happiness to the soul, age making no difference whatsoever. Many a romance has begun while gliding across a dance floor---have you tripped the light fantastic lately?

Time Flies

With each year time seems to pass just a little faster. Spring, summer, fall and winter speed by in a blur and before we know it, another year has passed. When I was a child I was always anticipating a future event and my dear mother would tell me not to wish my life away. Now I understand what she meant. My 6 year old granddaughter wants to be 7, the high school junior wants to skip a year so she can go to college, a grandson couldn't wait to finish school so he could join the Army, and now finds himself in Iraq. Don't wish your lives away, kids, you'll be senior citizens before you know it!
