Dancing with Life

Days in the breeze, bare feet running along streams

Indigo blue midnights, bon fires under the stars

Sleepy mornings, hands wrapping around, warm cups of coffee

Tuesdays eating tacos, sharing laughs with close friends

Relaxing in the orange glow of sunsets, cocktail escapes on back decks

Afternoons backpacking through tall grass, waking up in the middle of forests

Campfire story evenings, marshmallows roasting over crackling flames

Trips on winding roads, beach vacations, rafting down rivers

Islands in the Caribbean, discovering new cultures, making memories in photographs

Oceans flowing in waves, surf boards sticking upright in the sand

Nights dancing with distractions, kisses, you would die for

Dance with the distractions of life. Find ways to escape, to get away from the every day world. Take time out to be a free spirit. Keep the ones you love close. Remember what's really important, forget what isn't. Find peace. Set drama aside. Breathe in, breathe out. Take a pause. Take in the beauty that’s all around you. Feel the healing power of just being for a while. Love the moments that take you by surprise. Let your feet carry you down a beach, go into the spaces between trees. Push the accelerator down in your car, feel the wind in your hair. Turn the music up, sing out loud. Create a bucket list, start checking things off.

Life is full of responsibilities. Take care of them, but don’t let them define you.
