~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happiness is when I am listening to the music, feeling the rhythm, the melody, owning each beat. Happiness is when I am dancing, expressing my feelings in each beat lifting my spirit, freeing my soul. Happiness is when I am taking delight in my movements in expressing different emotions, ideas, exuberance. Happiness is when I am in a trance when dance gets me feeling everything or nothing at all, at the same time. Happiness is connecting to others while I am dancing. Yes, they tell me the joy they feel when they watch me. Happiness is being in solitude, reflecting what I am thankful for and things I can do for others to stay positive. Happiness is indulging in natural spring bath, mud bath, body massage, facials for relaxation and health benefits. Happiness is taking time with my children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, friends to celebrate or just to be together. Happiness is doing sweet little nothings, like reaching to my loved ones saying hello or to strangers with a smile. Happiness is when I say something stupid or funny making the listeners laugh and laugh making us laugh non-stop.

Thank you so much, Kim. I was telling my dance partner that maybe I should really teach dancing exercises in community center since I had been asked to, but he kept on telling me it is not a good move for me because I don't have patience... he told me he knows me very well, like when I'm telling him to do this, not that, etc. when I'm creating a new move and I kept making faces at him... we just laughed and laughed and yes, until my stomach was hurting, lol.. Have a nice Sunday, blessings to you.
