No, I'm not saying I can-not move like a rabbit. I'm expressing I don't dance like many of the current genera-tion. I got to know a lot of terrific people recently. Train-ing over many weeks in the final half of last year made that happen. It grew my commun-ity of friends.
I improved. I am better at what I do. Because of it, I am filled with gratitude. But not
enough to dance the way many graduates of this training do. It is one of the major ways they get together. Dancing hip hop.
Because I knew the moves. But it was ballroom dancing. Waltz, Foxtrot, Swing, Cha Cha, Rumba, Tango, Salsa, Cumbia, Mambo, I can do. Free form, con-temporary dancing I can move to. But there is no comparison. I am not asking others to agree.
The time flies. Transport-ed to a rhythmical world, I am. I am in my body when shaking or gliding on the dance floor. I am enveloped with the beauty of music. Emotions are re-leased melodically.
I drink in the fun dancing offers.
One important lesson learned from Al-Anon Family Groups is that we can hold different opinions. Neither of us has to be wrong. You may like vanilla ice cream. That's fine. I don't. We are both free to enjoy what we like.
No morals are being violated, when I eat orange sherbet and you enjoy your favorite flavor. When we learn this lesson, we all fit in, just as we are.
I just don't do hip hop.
How About You?
Where do you disagree, finding yourself standing apart from others?

Thank you so much for sharing your raw emotions. It helps me so much as I go through my course and overcome my fears.
Hi Pablo,
I appreciate your mentioning the fact that we can all hold different opinions without anyone being right or wrong. It is good to agree to disagree. I am learning to express my opinion even if it is not popular. I am not going to try and people please anymore and submit to other people's opinions just to keep the peace or for fear that people will dislike me.
