A precious moment captured in time 
When this photo was sent to me last week, lyrics to a song that actually felt like my theme song as a teenager came flooding back. If you know me even slightly, you know I live these lyrics. I’ll always dance through it all.
These words are for both the little girl on the left 
And remain true for the bigger girl on the right 
These words are wishes for our children
and for the child in all of us:
“I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
Get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
G-d forbid love ever leave you empty-handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance,
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake, but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out – reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance…”
I hope you dance.
