 we only have a short time, start dancing
Someone that I've known since grade school dropped dead on the golf course last Sunday.
The last time I saw him was at my sons basketball game a few years ago.
He was the picture of health.

He left behind a wife and 4 kids.
Everyone that knew him seems to be in shock
Its so sad
He was such a nice, friendly, successful, terrific guy!
I feel sorry for his poor family

When something like this happens it forces you take a time out

its a real wake up call

so
what are you currently stressing over?
is it really all that important?

probably not!

Actually,
he was the very first boy that ever asked me to dance at tween club when we were in 7th grade.
I used to get a new outfit for the Friday night get together's
and
because I was sure that no one would ask me to dance
I'd spend the entire evening in the lavatory.

remember that word?
"teacher, may I go to the lavatory?"
I digress
thats another story

we all worry about so many unnecessary things
after a few weeks

 I finally mustered the courage to come out of the bathroom
I then began dancing and having a ball

we only have a short time on this planet
 never waste a single minute
in a stall

actually, we only have one life,

just try not to stall at all
who knows when our time is going to be up
I think
its time to start dancing

I agree totally Roe. My dad also died on the 15th tee. It was a horrible shock to all of us and life was never the same. Now I'm going to take Bryan to Donegal for the weekend and I shall make him dance. Even with his two left feet!

It IS time, roe! Thanks for the reminder. How many remember the shag?! A real southern favorite of mine along with Motown :-)

kind of like the twist. How about the 'cool jerk' and I don't mean Steve Martin
