I love to dance. Give me a beat and my body just starts moving. My favorites are hip/hop and swing. I love the fancy foot work involved in hip/hop and all the twists and turns in swing dancing. The past 4 years have been mainly hip/hop and swing for me… a few slow songs here and there, but it was predominately upbeat. I hardly ever slowed down. There were even times I tried to make a slow song fast just so i could get moving again. In these past 6 months there hasn’t been one twist or turn. It’s been like an ongoing slow song. Slow dancing is definitely not my favorite, but my Partner loves it. My Partner loves the intimacy and closeness that comes with a slow dance. Me…. I’m at the point that I’m so tired of the slow song, I want to go sit down. I feel like this dance is in slow motion. It’s never ending. I’m so tired that I’m now standing on my Partner’s feet while He leads me. I’m barely awake. Barely focused on what is going on. I have no energy. But I’m not going to sit down. I can’t. This is my Partner’s favorite song. My Partner may not be able to feel His toes, but He loves that I’m completely dependent on Him to hold me up. Every time I think about sitting down, I think about how much my Partner has done for me. All the songs we have danced through. Even though I’m tired and I am barely hanging on, I keep telling myself to keep dancing, just keep dancing.
