I don't normally blog twice in a day but I felt that I could not ignore the feelings I had when I saw this video.
It was taken a year prior to my retirement from dance...so about ten years ago.
Watching it effected me. It is not often that I miss dancing. Lately my heart is stirring for it. But this video reminded me why I loved dancing.
I danced for more than 25 years of my life. A portion of that was as a professional. When it became time to leave, I was embittered by dance almost to the point of hating it. I hurt all the time, I was never thin enough. My marriage was a wreak. I blamed it all on dance.
Through several years of recovery, of course I realized it was not dance that I hated but me.
When I watch this video, I remembered why I loved it. It also saddens me. If I had used my ability to glorify God instead of myself....what more joy may I have had.
Even now, as I dance around my home with my daughter and husband I have way more joy. When I worship God and move my feet, I feel complete joy.
So, I miss you dance. Maybe we can get together in a serious way soon.
