Welcome to my new blog. Here I am at Cumberland Dance Week at the end of July sitting in one of the many rockers on the porch. I was enjoying myself that week, reuniting with old friends and taking a Nature Walk class with the kids. My eighteen-month-old niece Sage Jodock got to be at camp along with her mother Hazel, and they enjoyed making friends there, including another girl just two months older than Sage. I loved being at the dances, impressing my friends by my own dance movements by waving my arms to the music while sitting along the sidelines. Having cerebral palsy doesn't totally keep me from dancing. I entered a poem in the annual dance poem contest, and even though I didn't win, I still love my poem.
Here is my dance poem right here.
As the music starts to play,
One’s body feels compelled to move to the beat
And take part in the special form
That is called dancing.
Dancing releases the spirit within,
And brings out a positive form of energy.
Whether dancing alone or with others,
Dancing brings cheer and comfort.
