The Best Thing I've Done All Day

Yesterday was a mostly quite yucky day--one of those days where everything seems to go wrong. But I went to dance practice last night and that sure lightened my mood. Dancing is good for you. And it certainly helps when the rest of your dance troupe is in a ridiculously silly mood. We spent as much time laughing as dancing--sometimes laughing at ourselves while we were dancing. At one point Jessica was collapsed on the floor with her hands fluttering helplessly because she was laughing so hard. That must have been after Evie improvised some of our song lyrics--rather than singing "wala zaman" she sang "I once was a man." If you've ever seen Evie you'd understand why it's so funny; she is one of the most feminine, curvy and decidedly un-manlike women you'll ever meet.

While today has been an improvement over yesterday's mini-catastrophes, I'm still feeling a fair amount of stress over many major things in my life, including the PCD Walk that I’ve organized for tomorrow (donated yet??!). But then something wonderful happened. I am in the midst of a huge laundry-washing project, and my bed is all stripped down.When I walked past my bedroom door, my bed looked SO inviting with all my pillows piled on it in a heap that I couldn’t help myself. I ran in, leapt high up into the air and did a huge bellyflop onto the pillows on the mattress. I was actually shrieking with laughter it felt so good. I’m still grinning like a fool as I type this. Try it sometime--I guarantee it will make you feel better. Who says kids should be the only ones to be silly and spontaneous?
