Ok, posting stuff from other blogs is what lazy bloggers like me do when we can't come up with our own material, or we're too busy to download the cute pumpkin patch photos from the camera. So, here I go again, sharing something from another site . . . but I liked it and maybe it will help me focus on the joy in life and not the plummeting stock market, record job losses and overall economic disaster we are all dealing with! And I must say I honestly did not know that Nietzsche had a position on dancing!

Finding and celebrating the joy in life
We should consider every day lost in which we have not danced at least once.
- Nietzsche, philosopher
Each day is a new chance to find joy and to dance. If you let it pass or think it useless, the chance is gone and you'll never get it back. When was the last time you played? Or just did something for the sheer fun of it? Joy is not found in the world around you, it's within yourself. You can make your own joy, especially during those dark times when you need to really feel alive again. Fun and play are healthy antidotes to taking life--and ourselves--too seriously. They're proven boosters of immune systems and mental health and make life worth the trouble. So do the twist. Sing in the shower. Learn a magic trick. Watch a cartoon. Challenge some kids to a game. Don't let a single day go to waste.
