Challenge - Dance

We all dance at some point in our lives, be it at a ball, wedding, or possibly when we are all alone. Maybe you do not dance. Maybe you only dance in your thoughts, dreams, and heart. I love to dance when I am alone. All alone.

In this challenge I would like you to make a page

1: where you journal about when you like to dance. Do you love going to big balls so you can put on a flowing gown and waltz all night long, or do you love to hit the clubs and boogie (or whatever the young people call it these day) to some loud music, or maybe you only dance when no one can see you.

-or-

2: using a quote or poem as inspiration.

-or-

3: where you share why you don't dance.

Feel free to read through the quotes, poetry, etc, below to use as your inspiration.

Live Your Life

Dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never get hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
Live like there's heaven on earth.

The Dance by Garth Brooks

Lookin' back,
On the memory of
The dance we shared,
Beneath the stars above
For a moment,
All the world was right
How could I have known,
That you'd ever say goodbye?

And now,
I'm glad I didn't know
The way It all would end
The way It all would go
Our lives,
Are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain,
But I'da had to miss the dance.

Holding you,
I held everything
For a moment,
Wasn't I a king?
But If I'd only known,
How the king would fall
Hey who's to say,
You know I might have changed it all

And now,
I'm glad I didn't know
The way It all would end
The way It all would go
Our lives,
Are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain,
But I'da had to miss the dance

It's my life,
It's better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'da had to miss,
The dance

I hope you have fun doing this challenge.
