Life Is A Dance

One day at a time -- one foot in advance of the other, an occasional side-step, and a back-step when obliged -- life is a dance of sorts. Happy New Year my poetic friends!

Ahh, who doesn't love the call of the drums, and drummers ;)

Such a sweet poem, Joe. We needn't carry the botherations about our future years on our head. We need look to make the day at hand the best. Take one foot ahead the other. Then life will seem smooth. Of course, occasionally we have to side step or back step. Wish you a Happy New year.

Yep, while a hurried two step can be invigorating...it can also get one in a lot of trouble -- we can only do our best:) Blessings my friend.

You are correct in comparing a year to a dance. I'll try to improve my skills. Have a Happy New Year.

Or choose partners wearing steel-toes; I find that works:) Blessings my friend.
