KEEP DANCING IN SPITE OF AGING

Unfortunately, I’ve gotten way too old to dance.
My feet just don’t work that way anymore –
Too wooden for the spin.

Yet my heart sings –
Is singing – right now!

You can hear it no matter how far away you are –
You can even feel it without being awake.

Yes, although I no longer dance –
My heart still sings –
In waking dreams that surprise even me.

Dancing without feet –
Deep down in my heart –
I suddenly hear the voice of Jesus out in the wilderness
Fighting Satan by outwitting him –
And being someone who always says “No” to evil.

All God’s power can be hidden inside a silver thimble.

The evil one and all his accomplices run away
When that tiny glittering container of goodness appears.

I’m wearing one right now –
A true symbol of God’s goodness –
It’s filled with tiny eye sparkles –
Which include every bit of love in my life –

Here, in this old, yet still innocently young
Body.

  1. Gretchen and I are just not dancers and have never been.
    BUT I am still playing some tennis and riding my old (45 years) bike around the neighborhood.
    Also hanging on at RHP and starting to play at local park. They play with clocks, so my record is spotty.
    My A1C is 7.3 with the help of Jardiance.
    Best wishes,
    Jim

  2. Oh Peter – aging is on my mind too. When I had by 78th birthday in June – I suddenly was looking no longer as 70’s but facing 80!! Tom is doing the same with 90! He’s 87. No way known to slow us down. Living here is helpful. So many lovely people and activities. Sending love your way!
