Dancing Sober : Day 62 #100daysofwriting

I've never had much of an issue with dancing in public - be it at a wedding, in a club, in my kitchen (ok less public) or the cereal aisle.

I honestly don't care if no one else is dancing, I've never had to be drunk to dance - if I'm not dancing at a party then either I'm pretending to be a wimp like everyone else, or the music is horrible.

I have always rolled my eyes at people who say they need another drink before hitting the dance floor. Now that I'm sober I'm actually a better dancer - maybe it's the improved balance.

Anyway, as I was busting an electric slide in my kitchen this evening to "Uptown Funk", I felt truly happy. Happy to be sober, happy to be dancing, in my own kitchen. Life is very busy and I relish small joys like this.

May you always be able to dance, wherever, whenever, even sober and alone.

Survival Tip: Alternative Party Drinks

I wish I could say that I did the Daisies without any form of stimulant... but I was totally downing Red Bull like a seasoned party animal... even though I've barely touched Red Bull in the last 30 years....

Apparently drinking two very fast makes me dance like an iTunes screen-saver (my description).

I had a heck of a lot of fun and have developed a love of electronic music. It was great to just dance and only feel a little dehydrated, with a small tummy ache. Viva the all night buzz without the morning pain!!

I would recommend a lot of water along with a high caffeine diet ;)
