DANCE

I recently saw a quote that read "Where you invest your love, you invest your life"....I thought wow, who actually DOES that? Like who seriously says this is my love therefore it will be my life. The best example I could think of were these ladies up here, dancers. First of all I never made it past the phase of the little girl in the upper left hand corner...most of us "little girls" never do... shout out! The ones that do don't always end up in pictures like the rest of these, but they all pursue dance with some level of passion, or God Given natural talent. Frankly, it's something to envy...to have both passion and discipline aimed in the direction of something you LOVE? RARE. It really made me think, what about today did i LOVE? Where TODAY did I invest my life? and do i even dare to ask this of myself for fear that the answer might actually be something so painfully shallow that the pool of tears you could cry over it would drown you? The will to live is something so interesting...If you came in here and diagnosed me with a terminal illness then, well I wouldn't be HERE, where I am, that's for sure....and not even because where I am is even that bad, but because I would be DYING I would know that the end was near. I would KNOW that. The interesting aspect is that, THAT's what it would take, but i could drive out of the parking lot when the clock strikes the GLORIOUS and heaven sent time of 5:30(end of my workday) and DIE in a car wreck. WAH WAH sad. whatever. the point is the only reason i would push myself to be any different or see things differently is because the end was near, but technically speaking (unless you're God which if you are thanks for reading, please feel free to comment) that end could be anytime. it COULD be near.

SO WHY? Why, do i get my thoughts and heart to this point? Because it's the ONLY way that I can come up with these...the things about today that I pursued with both passion and discipline, no none of them will give me a visual like dance, but some come close...the things I loved:

My God, and His sunrise this morning.

My husband and his smile everyday.

My pup and her spunk.

My sisters, their calls, their texts, and pictures of their faces.

Iced, lemon, water.

Lunch with real, meaningful, lady friends.

These crazy printed pants i'm wearing....nah i don't love these they're annoying.

Chinese food.

An email from my mom.

Driving down Camp Bowie.

Watching a baby sleep.

A 70degree morning.

Knowing tonight, i'll see Camille.

Snuggling.Always.Snuggling.

I'm not sure if when you were reading this list you were hearing the sound-track of your life and starting to wonder, " What IS it all about?" but I promise that was not my goal...just want to remind you, where you invest your love, you invest your life...so go ahead and LOVE something.
