"Keep It Moving"

Fancy dancer, choreographer and author, Twyla Tharp writes about toughing out the Fall and Winter of our lives with gusto rather than give in to the uncomfortable wear and tear of the years. We should simply adapt and modify according to the changes. 

In her book, "Keep It Moving" she sings the praises and lives by her words of encouraging if not prodding people who are slowing down to get up and move. Her point is not to give in to the whole dang, inconvenient, sometimes obnoxious reminder of the aging process. Change does not need to stop us from making things happen in positive, life enhancing simple ways.

Tharp is a sassy, saucy sort, confident as a mighty lion. Her 83 years are full of exuberance and energy, art and a passion for everything beautiful, bold, brazen and beastly. I am inspired constantly by people who refuse to rust away, give in to the body and mind's lackluster prospective on the matter of how we move through the years. Not to give up on ourselves, our creativity our sense of wonder and curiosity about life, people and everything that makes us glisten at any age.

Go In Peace

Interesting and Blessed are the best descriptions for the year we say goodbye to. The year included heartache, happiness, love lost and found. New lessons always to be learned as life continues to be full of surprises and dissapointments.                           

It has been a good year with life changes for the better. Funny not so funny how life challenges us constantly to keep ourselves together and strive constantly to improve ourselves in the slightest to the grandest way possible. 

To grow in peace with simple approaches to complicated things. I am happier when I take life one peaceful thought at a time, one moment and one day at a time. I am happy to realize it is better for me to not take things personally as people have their own internal challenges to deal with and navigate through life. Peace be with you now and into the future. ☮
