Do a little dance

It's been awhile, hasn't it?

I know. Trust me, I know.

It's not like I haven't sat down here in this hard wooden chair, stared at the glaring light of my Macbook a hundred times and let my fingers dance furiously along the keyboard - out of rhythm from sitting far too long on the sidelines, unfortunately - composing complete jibberish that once made sense in my head mid-steamy shower and then refused to hit publish. I've definitely been here. Just... a bit two-left-footed, I suppose.

I can't say it hasn't been frustrating; I've always been the girl to dance - not walk - her way onto the parkay floor, soaking up the spastic neon lights like energy, never needing to find the beat because it was always already in me. Then, there I was, watching everyone else with their shoulders bouncing, hips a-swaying, hair sashaying while I silently sipped my drink in a dark corner only to be enveloped with envy, seemingly unable to do the dance.

But guess what, assholes? Gloria was right. At some point, the rhythm does get you. Maybe it starts with a toe tap or a bop-and-weave of the neck. Perhaps it completely engulfs you and suddenly your entire body is shaking in maddened delight and there you are: you. You're back.

Or maybe it starts with a poorly written little post with shitty analogies.

Either way, I'm ready to get back out on the dance floor.

I check on you every single day. I, too, have lost my rhythm this year (so much I can't blog about that's killing me) but am beginning to feel a little toe-tap lately. Although I completely understand your "pause" while you regroup, I really hope you get your groove back.
Your fans adore you. ;-) I wish you the best.

YAY! So glad you're coming back and you are feeling the rhythm again.

Great, now that song will be in my head all day. But, I guess as long as your posts are in my reader more often, I'm really really ok with that.

Who took your photo? It's beautiful! It looks like you're having fun! Why were the people glad to welcome you back to the dance floor? Were you gone for a long time?

"The more you practice, the better you get and the better you get, the more fun you have!" That's pretty capturing! The fact that practice makes perfect, no matter mistakes come along the way, if you get to appreciate the whole thing about what you're doing and enjoy every single moment, mistakes are bound to nothing and perfection that comes from the heart is more visible than anything.
