Still got it Mood
Sunday, August 24, 2008 | A Positive story

Went to a dance last night for the first time in 20 YEARSSurprised

 

 Still got a FEW moves left in this old body. I'd forgotten how much I'd enjoyed dancing. I'd also forgotten that dancing requires muscles I haven't used in that same 20 years.

 

 This was ballroom dancing. I used to do only country. Back when Brooks & Dunn were the house band at a place called Tulsa City Limits. I found out that there are regular classes for all type of ballroom dance. SO....since I missed my fall enrollment for college to get the boys school supplies I shall spend my fall semester in dance school and resume college in the spring.

 

 It's been 19 months now since the ex walked out. And I've gone from devastated(sp?) and serious anxiety disorder to having a life. Just now I'm wondering if the marriage wasn't the cause of my anxieties.

 

 I have SO much I want to do now.And so much that I AM doing. Life isn't perfect yet. I'm still broke most of the time. But I'm finding things to do that are cheap, making friends, and raising my boys. Life is good.

 

 (Now if Paula Abdul would just start returning my phone calls)

    LOL!! Paul Abdul, if I talk to her I will let her know. Oh, I see! You still have the groove. You can't ask for anything better than that.

    Glad to know that you haven't allowed the circumstances of this life to hold you back. Continue to have fun and I wish you all the best in college and in your life.

    Good for you! Dancing is wonderful, and good exercise. I too have started to realize some of my disappointment in life was due to my marriage. Funny, I almost knew it then and now I know it. No blame, just not what I wanted. Life moves at it's own pace and we all should try to just experience the ride. I hope to eventually get out into the world again and find my fun. Now how are you at the fox-trot..... :o)
