Dance

1 Comment

Do you ever wake up and feel like dancing. I do sometimes and its fun. Some of my favorite songs, the house to myself, that relaxed feeling the first thing in the morning. (maybe that’s a retired thing)

That is me, dancing alone but I’m thinking about switching it up a bit. I feel good a lot of the time when I’m out and why not share the joy.

I thought of this the other day while I was taking a joy ride on one of the last nice days with the top down. I was sitting at a light in my own world, listening to an old Doobie Brothers tune “China Grove” and playing drums on the steering wheel and moving my shoulders side to side when I looked at my rearview mirror and I can see two people behind me smiling and moving their shoulders side to side with the music.

So, I turned it up a few notches and turn to the right and the guy next to me is playing air guitar. I’ve got a band going at a friggen stop light. Right before the light turned, I put both fist in the air and felt so good.

I used to be a good bit more uninhibited. Maybe time to scratch that itch again. Dance like nobody is watching. What the hell, I’m old and I’m giving less thought to what is appropriate and more to what is fun.
