Happy New Year

There’s probably lots of things I could write about what I’ve learned over 2021 and what I plan for 2022. One thing sticks out though. The phrase “Dance like nobodies watching.” Don’t do that. If 2021 taught me anything it’s that I need to dance like everybody is watching. Dance for yourself when you need to and if anyone sees you it is only a problem in their mind, not in yours. If they try and make it a problem in yours well it is still a problem in their mind for them to deal with.

Dance.

I once saw an old man cabaret style dance across a pelican crossing. He had a stick, a hat, and everything. It was completely out of the blue. He danced across the road. He danced like people were watching because it was a busy 4 lane road. It was amazing.

Every body dance now.
