Following The Music

As soon as I arrived at my Mother-In-Laws we set off in search of music, specifically the kind you can dance to.  Everyone has their thing that gets them into the present moment and music and dancing is Susanna’s method.  For me it is walking, swimming, playing with children, weaving or spinning, but I do love music and dancing so I tagged along willingly.  

Navigating our way via busy transit then packed filled streets we made it to the Italian festival on Commercial Drive.

Every ethnic background and age danced in the streets.  We salivated to the smell of food that filled the air, and people watching was at a premium.  

Our music adventure didn’t end there.  Susanna took me to see some of her favourite Jazz performers in the city where we danced some more.

I am learning that everyone has something that transports them into the present moment.  In the last month I have encountered: running, swimming, gardening, horseback riding, and dancing.  I asked my grandson, “When your feeling sad what do you do to make you feel happy?”  He quickly responded, “I play with Eli”, his best friend. 

One of my favourite things is to go for a walk hand in hand with Xavier ❤️❤️❤️
