Learning to Dance

I woke up this morning hearing in my head "two steps forward, one step back...two steps forward, one step back" and I began to think of how upset I used to get at the set backs in life. Like when my marriage of 16 years ended, when I had to sell my beautiful home and all of my belongings becasue I had become to ill to work, and there are many more but those are the most significant. I used to focus so hard on my set backs that I failed to see my successes. In all things in life there will always be set backs becasue that is simply a part of living, the real magic is how we deal with the set backs. As I pondered this I was taking back to a time when my sister Pammy taught me ballroom dancing. Now folks I am much taller and simply a bigger girl than Pammy and to boot I can be pretty clumsy and uncoordinated but that did not stop Pammy from teaching me to dance. She was patient with me and I can still here her say "two steps forward, one step back, two step forward, one step back" (I believe she was teaching me the three step). This is a memory that I shall always cherish. So I now focus on my two steps forward and I now that when my step backwards comes it is simply becasue I am learning to dance<3
