Enjoy dancing

(Koshi, Kumamoto, Japan)

Last Sunday I went to a dance party at the bar. They hold a party once every month. I regularly attend a party. We eat, drink, sing and dance.

We dance blues, waltz, tango, cha-cha, mambo, rumba and others. There are many women who want to dance. So we men can have a partner easily. I danced with about ten different women.

I really enjoyed dancing and was happy. It is said that it is good for old people to associate with opposite sex in order to be healthy and strong longer. Let’s enjoy dancing.

Dancing

My wife learned how to line dance while being my caretaker due to open heart surgery back in 2004.

While recuperating from that and 2 other surgeries, as part of my recuperation therapy, she taught me and eventually we both took lessons.

Been dancing since then and it keeps us going and feeling younger than our actual ages (she turns 86 this year and I turn 84 this year).

Moral of this story: Keep dancing!

I attended a senior center party today. There were 2 live musicians, good ones, food, and friends.

I saw how some folks freely danced while I sat, afraid to be let loose.

God is bless those who rise and dance!

Maybe one day I can.
