Last night after dinner, the dishes were done, our bellies full, the soft glow of a night light and music playing. Simple pleasures are remembered as the best.

Then played Sultans of Swing and my feet started to move and the next thing I knew I was dancing, albeit not well.

The realization is that I haven’t danced or felt like dancing in months maybe longer.

Mike laughed at me and I smiled.  A little joy, a ray of light, in a dark night is sweeter than almost anything in life.

It felt so good.  Better than medicine. My heart lifted as my spirit did the same.  Lighter than air, I felt.

In the good times, we forget the little things that make life wonderful.  A sweet treat, a warm kiss, a belly laugh and a dance.  All these things are precious as gold, even more so.

So today as the worries and stresses mount.  When everything seems to be falling down around you, take a deep breathe and do a little dance or sing a song or anything that brings joy. 

It won’t solve the problems, but it will make you feel better.

Now I’m off to my War Room to pray for all those in need, maybe I’ll do a little dance on my way.

Better days are ahead my friend, better days indeed!
