Thanks Don. The dance with style is not likely. Three years ago I could do 30 pirouettes in a row and stop on a dime. Today i use a service dog and have frequent falling episodes.

However, I do fall gracefully! Ha Ha!

Wow Don! How absolutely cool was that!

Your post came at just the right time. Prior to clicking it I had been overcome with incredible sadness thinking about how last night my service dog brought me a piece of mail that had fallen from the table earlier that afternoon and it was my SSDI back pay contained in an envelope that I could not open.

While listening to the song i closed my eyes and saw who I was just a short time ago.

By the end of the song I had gotten over myself and thought about how I am a much better person than I was a dancer. Being a dancer is what I did, it is not who I am.

To all of those who have lost careers, passions and dreams due to disabling conditions we all must find new hopes and passions and dance on.

Thank you to a complete stranger for helping me along the way!
