Gratitude

Daily Movement Prompts, Tuesday November 8, 2016 edition:

I’m in a dance skirt today (because it was the easiest way to #wearwhite for the right for women to vote) and I cannot help thinking about the efforts people have gone to, all to make the world I live in. I’m in a most fortunate place in history, to have the freedoms of choice that I have. So today, I plan to dance for Joy and Thankfulness.

If you choose movement today and need a suggestion, may I promote the idea of Gratitude? Like we open our classes:

I am thankful for the space I have to dance in
I am thankful for being like the lotus blossom: I bloom and I sleep
I am thankful for the surface I dance on
I am thankful for the music I dance to
I am thankful for the teachers in my life and my capacity to learn
I am thankful for my ancestors, my predecessors, and my loved ones in my heart
I am thankful for those that I dance with
I am thankful for those that I dance for
And in all things, I bring all this thankfulness into one dance.
