Boogie Mornings

Boogie Mornings are back...

Have you ever woke up, made your bed, turned on some fun music and just started moving better? If not, it is time to try it. Even for 10 minutes. There is a sense that the day is just going to be good. Somehow you forget the sore soles of your feet from a long day before. The shoulder aches from carrying a load are still there as you attempt a little beat keep. But if you hang with it, soon you don't even notice those issues with your body.

As I get older, I keep thinking I am in the best shape of my life...except for the wrinkles, extra weight, and larger sizes I am wearing these days. It is one of those things I tend to forget. That I was a nicer shaped example of myself many years ago or even just a couple years ago. As the years have passed, the changes in my skin, bones, and taste in clothing have caused me to only accept what I see today.

Sometimes I think I have always been in this body just as is and it isn't so bad. But then when I try on a dress from just a couple years ago, I am reminded that something changed. I still dance the same. I walk the same. I feel the same. But that dress just doesn't fit the same. It looks like it grew wider and shorter. Problem is that I really wanted to wear the dress this weekend to a Retirement party for one of Chris's friends. It hangs in my closet for the mere reason of my desire to wear it. And frankly, I think clothes should update as often as my body changes. Right? Okay maybe not. But I hang on to certain items of clothing because it looked good on me.

Back to boogieing. The music is on in the house as well as in my head.
