WALKING/DANCING MY WAY AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Friday, April 09, 2010

Exercise has never been "my thing."

Some people love it. They step out with purpose. Their eyes sparkle. They whistle as they walk.

Not me! No stepping out with purpose, no sparkle--definitely no whistling. I barely breath.

Until one day, "out of the blue," I started singing along with Kenny Rogers and Dottie West.


"Your back in my arms back where you belong, the love that I knew, is living again and nothing else matters girl, we're together again...... "

I smiled, stepped out with purpose, and even did a little dance step.

But then "out of the blue" in my minds eye I saw an image of Buzz Aldrin on Dancing With The Stars.

I knocked off the dancing immediately. But I hummed along with Kenny and Dottie all the way home.

I'm sitting here this morning half awake trying to get up enough moxie to get ready for Tai Chi class.

Hey, I wonder if my instructor would let me listen to Kenny and Dottie? I wear earphones.

Nah, we exercise in front of a big mirror. Not even Kenny and Dottie can overcome that sight!
