I’ve not been feeling well for several days now, so today I’ve been lying around watching everything from Trading Spouses to Dancing with the Stars. I have to admit, I would never get on television and humiliate my family like some of the people do on several “reality” TV shows, but it sure would be cool to build up enough courage to be able to enter a contest like Dancing with the Stars.
One year for our anniversary, I gave my husband a plaque that has a derivative of the following saying written on it:
"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."
— William W. Purkey
My husband and I are both in choir at church. I admire how he can totally let himself get lost when he performs a song for our congregation. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He has a great voice, and his performances show the passion he has for every song he sings. Everyone is always commenting on his abilities. I, on the other hand, love to sing – and I have to admit that I have a good voice, too – but, I don’t have all the showmanship he has when he is really “on”. However, I get up there anyway, and give it all I’ve got.
My point is this… You gotta listen to William W Purkey. Life can be uncomfortable, but life can be a real good ride. Ride on!
