Dance

Today I am thankful for the opportunity to see my

6 year old daughter dance in her recital.

She has been practicing all school year for this moment and 

she did a super-cute job,

even if she didn't participate in the first 20 seconds of the 

2 minute dance. :)

At a previous time in my life, it would have drove me crazy

that she didn't do it just like the other girls.

But now, as I am becoming more aware of what is important in life,

I realize that it doesn't matter if she does the dance perfectly

or if she even does it like everyone else.

If she is trying her best and having fun,

I am a happy mother.

These images are of some of the older girls participating in the 

dance program that my daughter attended.

I didn't take many of other children,

but I did take a few and these two are my favorite.

Aren't dancers just full of gracefulness

in their long lines

and control over their bodies?

Beautiful.
