Yesterday writing about dancing got me thinking about this quote I love:

“Life may not be the party we hoped for but while we are here

we might as well dance.”

Things are going to happen to us in our lives we are not going to be happy about. Life does happen and we are going to lose love ones, we are going to miss opportunities and we are going have some raining days BUT, we have a choice on how we deal with them.

We can chose to spend our time in fear of these events. We can hide ourselves away in bed with a packet of Double Stuf Oreos and watch reruns of America’s Next Top Model. We can chose to allow the ourselves to be taken over by the negative feelings and just dwell on how life is not what we expected.

OR we can chose to dance. We can chose to we have to take the good with the bad and the GOOD always out weighs the bad. We can chose to smile and celebrate life instead of live in fear of it. We can chose to realize that we control ourselves. We may not be able to control other people or all situations outside of ourselves BUT we can control what we do about them, how we handle them, and what we learn from them.
