I hope you dance!
Feeling down? Turn on an upbeat classical piece and dance around the kitchen as if you're the most spectacular ballroom dancer in the entire universe. Let every worry, sorrow or fear drop at your feet for just 1 minute and dance your heart out. Grab a roommate, a sister, a brother - anyone! Let that music guide your movement, but don't think about it. Just listen and move those feet.
Those worries and sorrows and fears will stay on the ground if you let them. Keep that smile on your face and move forward with a perfect brightness of hope, with a love of God and of all men.
It was hard for me to do that today. And I didn't do it as well as I could have. I didn't even want to dance; my roommate asked me too because she was listening to a string quartet. Because of the smile on her face and the work I knew she'd gone through to put it there I accepted the outstretch hand and danced. I'm very glad I did in the end. Even though I picked up those worries and sorrows and fears after I danced, they weren't nearly as heavy.
Tricky? Yes. Possible? Most definitely. Worth it? A resounding reply in the affirmative!
