Dancing Through October

We were on the dance floor last evening doing the Hustle to the count of four.  It proved to be a little more challenging than we thought.   It is really an easy step but,  if you are counting out loud your mind is focused on the count rather than just listening to the beat of the music. Our instructor said after we practice a lot the counting will stop and we will follow the beat of the music.  Hope he is right as I am hearing the sound of one and two and three and four while I sleep.   We really got mixed up as the instructor showed us a few turns.  I ended up getting the giggles as I fumbled around the dance floor with hubby trying to lead.  We looked like a couple that had lost their coordination.  Maybe we should stick to walking.  LOL!  I must remind myself never to give up.  It is fun to train the mind to do new things. 

Well I think Indian summer is here as we are having warm temperatures after last week's snow fall.  It is hard to believe we are almost through October.  November will be a busy month as we will be off to Texas and then celebrating Thanksgiving.  My daughter's favorite holiday.  It must be because of all the good food.   I am getting hungry just thinking about it.

 I bought a boutique of fall flowers for the table that are beautiful.  They are worth sharing.

Mental Telepathy

Sometimes when we think of someone we haven't seen for awhile they call out of the blue.  It is always like they can read our minds.  I wish sometimes people would call when I can't remember their phone number.  It is nice to hear from people we haven't talked to for awhile.  It makes me feel good to know they thought of me.  Catching up on the past with friends can be soothing to the mind.

The invention of the cell phone can keep us in touch with people everywhere any time.  It actually has saved people's lives when in emergency situations.  I remember growing up and searching for pay phones.  It seems funny now to think we put quarters in a phone to call.  Now we have access to the world right in our hands.  We can also text people when it is not feasible to speak to them.  Technology has come along way since my childhood.  I do wish people would learn cellphone etiquette and not ignore others by constantly answering their phones when socializing.  We also need to refrain from text messages while driving for our own safety and others.

Maybe today mental telepathy will work and I will get a call from a friend.  Life is always full of surprises.   Blessings to all those who are a part of my life.  A healthy mind resides in a healthy body....Roman poet Juvenal
