| These feet were made for dancing!!! |
I just danced my butt of to the jazzy sounds of a band playing fabulously on the streets of downtown Dallas, TX. There was a medium sized crowd gather to watch but I was the only one dancing at the time. At first some people stared uncomfortably at me but once they felt certain I was just a harmless weird dancing lady, they got back to the business of tuning into the band.
I closed my eyes then, imagined I was alone, and rocked out a little harder. I was there by myself--no kids to embarrass--and so I really disappeared, felt the music, and let my body do its thing. I gave it complete freedom.
This is one of the gifts living with a wacky, weird, socially strange,
and uniquely wonderful family has given me. I can comfortably be
myself regardless (mostly) of strangers staring and people likely
judging. And this, my fabulous friends, is a great gift indeed!!
Just as I was about to tip toe away, coming out of my trance, a kind gentleman with a recording device in his hand walked up to me and said, "That was great! By the way, we're live streaming this. I hope you don't mind."
I laughed! "If you're live streaming it's too late to mind! No problem. Thanks for letting me know."
I walked away thinking that the Universe just stepped it up a notch. Now I have to be comfortable being myself in the place I am, but also possibly live streamed around the world and recorded for folks on the internet to find, forever!
Okay world. Bring it on!! I'm me, I'm weird, I'm dancing, and I'm happy! Live stream that!
But, boy-oh-boy, I'll have to rethink the "no kids around to embarrass thing" won't I? tee hee!
Hugs, smiles, and love!!!
