Why is it we don't awake with thoughts of The Lord on our minds?
Why is it that our flesh likes to work overtime and the spirit likes to sleep in?
So frustrating! What is slightly amusing is that my first reaction to being awake so early was an old saying of mine- and it came to me with a tired smile on my face-
"Does anybody feel like dancing?"
I don't quite remember where I came up with that, but one morning when I still lived at home with my parents, I came downstairs after being out late the night before. (Probably out dancing!)
They were sitting there probably just having coffee and looked up at my messy hair and smiled at me kind of funny. It just struck me and I said it. Straight faced.
"Does anybody feel like dancing?"
It caught my mom off guard and she just started giggling. I used that phrase off and on for years at odd times just to get a laugh out of her. Especially in nerve wracking situations when we worked together. In family crises. When things broke and a mess ensued.
"Does anybody feel like dancing?"
And it always brought a laugh.
So why not now? Why get caught up in why I can't sleep? Why worry about who and what I can't change?
Because quite honestly, inside I do feel like dancing! I have a lot going for me right now and none of it has to do with whether or not:
-everyone is treating me right
-I feel great every day
-all is right in the world
-my kids are perfect
-who is or is not in my life
I choose to dance because God is with me. So all is right IN me.
Does anybody feel like dancing?
Well, I will after I get some sleep...hopefully in a little while.. :)
Blessings to you!

I'd love to come dancing with you! Had my first ballroom dance lesson, a waltz, and loved it. I'm hoping to find a dance class at a Community Rec Center I can do. It was so much fun!
