ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

TUESDAY,APRIL 29TH, 2025

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks,  and boring grays of your every day.

Today is International Dance Day which is a celebration of a truly unique art form. Dancing has been a part of human culture since the beginning of our history.  Through the ages, people have used dance for artistic expression, celebration, prayer and entertainment. 

An NGO called the International Theatre Institute founded this holiday in 1982. April 29th is the birthday of Jean Georges Noverre, the creator of modern ballet, the organization promotes the importance of dance education. 

Celebrate today and share you favorite dance and break out your best dance moves.

THOUGHT  FOR TODAY

Work like you don’t need the money.  Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching..

Satchel Paige 

To me dancing is lots of fun, but I don’t do much of it these days.  When I was a young girl in school,  I participated in a lot of dances at school.  When I was older and dating, we’d go to places with music and dance there.   For quite a while I was able to turn on the radio and dance to the music at home.  Now, it’s not possible to dance much when you have to use a cane.  

I’ve done many happy dances too,  When you’re so happy, you just have to dance around.  Dancing is very good exercise too. It makes us use muscles we don’t otherwise use. I hope you can celebrate and do some kind of dance today.  Remember the bunny hop and the hokie pokie?  Lots of fun when you had a group of people together. And there used to be a lot of line dances too.
