“Life's Dance” is an assortment of my life's memories and experiences that, even in my twilight years of life, still sit prominently in my heart and soul. I love all the characters that have traveled into and out of my life. Each character, whether good, bad, or in-between, added something to advance the days of my life. Life is a dance filled with every genre of music and lyrics and every type of dance. Some of the dances and musical lyrics of my life have been sad with hard lessons to learn. Some have been slow and sweet. Others have been frenzied, joyful, exciting, adventurous, passionate, and filled with love. Some of the people that I have met dance to the beat of a different drummer than most of us.
The sad times and the bad times make the good times much better. During life's good times, we plant seeds of goodness so that when the bad times come, with the proper love and nurturing, we can turn the bad times into something good. I believe that every person that we meet has a reason for being in our lives. We do not cross paths with anyone by chance. Some people are in our lives for a short time. Some people come into our lives at exactly the right time, often just in the nick of time. We have those people who are with us for a lifetime. We have people who love us and people that we love. We learn a lesson of some kind from every person we meet.
This assortment of my life's memories and experiences is in no particular order. I have written them as they have popped randomly into my head and flowed through my fingers onto the pages of this book. Each memory and experience represent a footprint on my heart and life that have served to make me the person that I am. I am incredibly grateful that God has given me the life that I have been fortunate enough to live.
