“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.” – Martha Graham

What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a dancer. I love how good moving to music makes me feel. I also love how carefree and creative it looks and feel. I can spend a ton of time on instagram watching videos dancers. They are so expressive and they always look like they are having the time of their lives. I did do ballet as a kid (and loved it!) but I really wanted to do contemporary dance.

So the job I would love to do for a day is to be a freestyle dancer. I would love to feel the bass pulsing through my body and directing my every move. I would dance to the remix of “I’m coming out” by Diana Ross. That song just lifts my vibrations. I would love to participate in a dance competition. I love the creative way in which the dancers in how they interpret the music. I love the attitude that they show while dancing. Most of all, the hype man and the crowds are such a vibe!

Dance is life!

Day 28 of my gratitude challenge, and I haven’t missed a day!  I am so proud of myself!  I have been so exhausted for most of the month, but I made myself open my laptop and start writing every night.  I usually give in to the feeling of tiredness regardless of what needs to be done, so I am really thrilled that I have managed to push through it every day. 

Two Things I Am Grateful For

  1. After two days of mainly vegging in front of the TV,  I woke up feeling energised and ready to take on the world.  I dressed in a brightly coloured, cute dress, put on my most playful lipstick colour, and did some shopping just to get out of the house.  It felt good to be out in the sunshine. 
  2. I have discovered that I can add all my loyalty cards on Zapper!  I am so excited.  I no longer have to carry my purse around, and I no longer have to sift through my cards to find the right one. I just need my phone.  So, technology has killed the wallet/purse in one fell swoop.  I will still keep a little one for cash, as it always pays to have a little bit of cash on you. Apparently, I am very delayed in discovering this, as the teller at one of the stores I visited told me everyone does it now. 😅
Today’s mood: I am a vibe!

One Moment of Joy

This was definitely at the end of the 30-minute cycling time.  I was devastated when I felt like I had been cycling for a while and discovered it hadn’t been quite 5 minutes yet.  It felt like it would be the longest 30 min of my life.  I felt fantastic at the end of it, though.  Another feather in my consistency cap!

That’s it from me for today.  Thanks for popping by.

Bye for now.

“His dream had never left; it was he who had quit on it.” Michael Ivanov (The Mount of Olives) 

This afternoon, I watched a programme on Netflix that featured amazing visuals of some of the cities I have always wanted to visit in Europe. It made me sit up and question why I haven’t fulfilled this dream yet and what I am going to do now to make it happen. For some reason, I felt like I had woken up from a coma. I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know what I want. Clarity is liberating.

I am also grateful today for the rest I have had ove the past two days in particular.  I feel more enegised and my head feels a little clearer.  I have also been trying to eat healthier these past two days, so that might also be playing a role. 

I tried a recipe from a new keto book that I bought recently.  It was just bangers and cauli mash with an onion gravy.  It tasted good and it was definitely the onion gravy that made the dish.  I had a good laugh, though, when I compared my finished dish to the picture in the book.  God bless food photographers for making food look so good that it motivates us to cook.  My food looked so bland and boring compared to the book’s pic.  Thank goodness for the tasty onion gravy because, visually, my dish did not appeal at all. 🤪

My food vs the book. They must have used a colourant to get it looking that good.

That’s my story for today.  I hope you enjoyed yours.

Bye for now.
