We've all got it in us... somewhere.
Sometimes you just need to loosen up a bit – shake off the dust of trying to be someone you’re not or give yourself the freedom to just go nuts in your own skin.
I wish we were all a bit more confident and secure about ourselves and our identity, both in real life and online, to just be who we are without the constraints of societal pressure and peer-expectations!
Sometimes we just need to dance! Right where we are in our own little way.
I felt this way today as I spent a little more time than I had wanted doing work on a weekend. I ended up just wanting to dance and free my mind, my heart, and my aching hands (too much typing!) a bit.
When was the last time you just “danced?” It might not be a physical dance (although that’s sweet!) but just some form of freeing expression that was without any constraints; boundary-less?
For kicks – and a laugh – here’s a personal example.
My “dance” lately has been tapping out comedic essays/rants about the trials and absurdities of being a single Christian woman. Unlikely I will ever get it to sharable/publishable standard but it has been fun to work on. At the moment I have chapter titles like “All my friends are getting married- facebook told me so” and “Contentment and other stupid advice about finding a man” :p
omg. i love this. please let me know if you ever get it published…!
If it does I think I’ll be excited enough to end up telling most of the internet!
… me too!
My dance is pet related. It seems, ok no it doesn’t seem…I HAVE completely spoiled my kittens to my attention since I brought them home as just weaned wee beasties. So my dance before I get to type is trying to make them understand that the coffee is all mine, the keyboard is NOT a napping place and my legs are NOT scratching posts
Little Buddha (you can see photos at my site) is the most stubborn. He was the runt of the litter and is very demanding of my attention 
In fact as I’m typing this he is trying to find a place to lay down on my lap….
i need some pics of this! do they try to sleep on your warm laptop?
I think I get my car dance on more often than regular dance. It’s where I crank some George Acosta, perhaps some V is for VooDoo by Prodigy. How can you not get your dance on sometimes?
prodigy is awesome…!
I SO needed this, today, John, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Jer 31:4. Blessings to you and yours.
thanks kerri! have a great week!
The classic two-step is always a win -lol!
…!
My dance is on my walk home from work. The bus drops me off at the Santa Monica Pier and I stroll home along the beach. If you’re going to move to CA after growing up in Kansas you better do it right. Good Days.
now that’s what i’m talking about!
I pick up my ukulele and have a good old strum!
