Old Age Day by Day March 25, 2012

I danced my butt off last night at my friend's 60th birthday party.  It was great fun.  I love to dance, but never get the chance, and even though my husband didn't want to, I had plenty of women friends to dance with.  I felt and good shape and healthy and glad to be among friends.  Today I went to meditation and my teacher's dharma talk, and the experience was like putting bookends to my life.  On one end, my dear friends and family, and on the other, my spiritual practice.  They hold me up, elevate me, even.  And boy do I need elevating.  I used to be 5 ' tall, but I lost an inch this year.  The incredible shrinking old lady.  Well, old or not, I can still boogie to motown pretty damn good!
