“Risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.” Leo F. Buscaglia

Today I will attend my last tap dance class of the season. At 35 years old I will dance in my very first dance recital EVER on Monday and Tuesday night. I have always wanted to be a dancer my whole life. My parents were more sports minded and thought I was more of an athlete than a dancer (trust me I often shared their opinion during dance classes) but I have had the time of my life! Every day when I put those tap shoes on there is such happiness in my heart that I can't help but beam. 

But boy has it been challenging too! There were classes when I thought I will NEVER get the hang of this. Why am I here? I can't BELIEVE I agreed to dancing in the recital. I am only going to make a fool out of myself. But every Saturday morning I woke up so excited for dance class. And you know what, no matter what happens next week, if I make a mistake or I am flawless (ya right!), I don't care. All that matters is I took a risk. I have fulfilled a dream I've had since I was 5 years old and THAT makes me joyful.
