Fred Astaire

"Laughter is the sound of the soul dancing. My soul probably looks like Fred Astaire." Jarod Kintz

"You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by." J.M. Barrie

It has been two years and ten days since I started this blog shouting that I would be finished by now and I had no excuses not to be.

I am obviously not finished yet, but here is what I've got:

Drafts of chapters 1, 2 and partial 3 in for review.

People who send me to do lists like this:

And me joyously accomplishing them like this:

Dancing with fairies- great use of any evening.

Yes, the good little witch is flying to the moon, wearing a mermaid on her dress.

And

I returned the favor with the following list:

Hug Wendy

Abs

Animal driving a car

Blow bubbles with a gnome

Sing with a starfish 

I can't wait to see what they come up with.

Goal: To dance through the rest of this process. Not saying it's going to be easy, not saying that I'm going to love every second of it. I am committed to seeing it through with as much grace, joy and laughter as possible.
