Curing the Blues

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Here's what you do when you're feeling blue:

1) You buy the flowers for which you've been yearning (I could write a story with the tips of these irises, couldn't you?).

2) You dance salsa, samba, rumba, fox trot, jive, and waltz with the masterful Jean Paulovich (throwing "Pulp Fiction" moves at one another when something goes wrong and not complaining, not for one second, when he tosses you to the floor. "New move," he says. "Yeah, right," you answer.).

3) You pay attention to the friends you have—the love they yield, unasked for.

I have two beautiful vases in my apartment, and I have been wanting to fill them with something pretty for awhile. You've given me the push to do so. :)

I'm sorry you've been blue. The flowers are lovely and I hope the dancing blew away the blues.

I was so disappointed when my dance studio cut out their classes for adults. Well, adults can still take ballet but the classes are geared to the studio's quarterly performances now.

I am in love with those blue-tipped stems.

It's true that paying attention to others when we're feeling down seems to help. It may be the thing we least feel like doing, but it's always worth the effort.

Nice list. I'm not a dancer, though. What about music? Maybe some writing? :)
