Grateful for Dance

I am grateful for many things.

But today, I am especially grateful for a little girl's dance class. I am grateful that her teacher teaches the class about confidence and strengthens the relationship between child and parent more than she teaches technical steps. I love that she asks us to hug and kiss our little dancer about 5 times in 45 mins because most days Lillie doesn't get more than one, even though she deserves a million. I just get too caught up in the craziness of life. I am grateful that Lillie loves to shuffle step and dance around as much as I do. I love seeing the joy that it brings her.

Oh and I'm grateful for a little boy who sat contentedly in his carseat watching the group twirl and skip around him.
