Most days I discover things....I practice "noticing" frequently....and today....
I discovered that I want to accomplish something....I want to finish a wall hanging I am making for Mary Jane's brother George, who has been ill. I don't want to get up to eat or even get a bottle of water. I just wanted to sew. In and of itself...that is absolutely amazing for me because I've felt the need to be "quiet" and a desire to grow roots out my bum (a visual here: deep tree roots connecting me to a comfy spot with very little movement).
As I am sitting and sewing on George's wall hanging....I'm thinking....I need to move my body more....this body deserves some zest. At the same time....I don't want to stop sewing. Then it came to me....if every hour or so I put on a song that really gets my mo-jo up....I can turn it up loud and dance like no one's watching (and they aren't)....I bust a move for 3-4 minutes....then I can go back to my sewing. Do you know how many minutes of aerobic exercise that adds up to be? I don't know either....but I can tell ya....it is a hell of a lot more than I have been getting and I'm heading in the right direction :)
You know what else I discovered? While dancing like a wild woman I saw at least 6 pins I have dropped on the floor and never noticed before now. I added some dance moves that included bending down and picking them up. Now....I'm begging you....please don't tell my husband because he will suggest I play music upstairs and clean the house. I must draw the line somewhere!!!
BTW....I can guarantee you with 100% certainty the only similarities between my dancing and the photo of the female dancing above (found by Google-ing wild dancing) is that I am a female with two arms and two legs...oh yeah....and I was vertical.
