07/03/2009: "What Was I Thinking?"

I thought that since it's was 10 years ago when I tried to get my community moving to the beat, and no one was interested, maybe they would be now. Afterall, Ellen has people waiting 2 years just to get tickets for her show so they can dance in her audience for an hour. We have "So You Think You Can Dance", "Dancing With The Stars", and now "Dance Your Ass Off". So why not here?
I guess I should have let the whole community know but I felt it was time for me to give back to the less fortunate. I just concentrated on the food bank patrons. I felt they could use a free hour of moving to the beat. No one responded to the flyers that were there when they came for their food. I thought I'd try a letter to the editor so more people would know about it but then I remembered about needing to wear a bra so I gave up trying to convince people that it's the best thing they could do for their body. I'm just not putting on a bra no matter what. I found out why the ladies didn't show up from my community. One ladies husband died suddenly that morning, the same morning of Farrah Fawcet and Michael Jackson's passing.
I'm 63 years old and mow lawns for a living. If I didn't dance every morning for at least an hour I wouldn't be able to make it through the day.
So I won't try again to convince anyone, I'll just do it myself every morning and if you want to do something good for your body, you should too.
I've been dancing all week to Michael Jackson's 145 songs, in his honor. I'll miss his talent. "Let's All Dance" for him.
