Wild Nights

One of my friends once told me that I am more multi-faceted than I, and other people, think I am. I tried to figure out just how so, and tonight was one thing to add to my list. I LOVE to line dance. Most people wouldn't just think that about me. I love going to Wild Country and I get better every time. By "get better," I mean, I learn the dances kind of. I'm not blessed with rhythm but I'm making it. And I don't even care how good I am or who's watching. I just love to do it and keep learning new dances. Last time I was at Wild Country I was out there dancing while my friends watched a few and I realized how much I've grown. I never would have been confident enough to do that in the past and now I am. People tell me I'm not confident all the time, but what they don't see is the growth in my confidence so far. It's kind of like how we judge kids with the NCLB Act of 2001. We are supposed to have all kids achieving these high scores, but really we should be measuring where each individual student is from where they were. We are all individuals and grow in different ways at different times. I wish people would realize that about me, too. Anyway, moral of the story is that line dancing makes me so happy and is something I've found for me. Something that I can be absorbed in for just one night. Nothing else to worry about.
