Art of Movement

   Surround yourself with wonderful people!! All shapes, colors, religions, personalities, and make sure they are nice humans.
   Simple. Yet..
   I have been highly favored, with the best circle.
   Last week two of my buddies sent me a coffee table book, EARLY (they know me!!) about the Art of Movement. It was a surprise and took my breathe away. The human body in the motion of dance, honestly, maybe that is for sure heaven. Hands, feet, arms, legs, chests, abdomens, neck muscles and no music. However I heard the music through the photographs, and a tutu!! Come on, toe shoes, tap shoes, no shoes. Thank you MP and NB, and then the beads, to help me pray that I am this dancer!! I will use the book to help me, just be in the present, paint some of the photos.(Not the ones I may have licked!!!) Thank you for loving me UP!!
   Then I started thinking, July has been 100% all Art.
   Had another opportunity to hear and see, The Rolling Stones, with my brother. At first we could not speak, I felt Benjie's hand on my shoulder, not words were needed. Finally I turned, and he said, "I know, don't say it!" Keith Richards is older then God!! He was up on the 60 foot Jumbo Tron, and in our laps!! God Bless his bones, I reminded Benjie that he wrote children's books now, and then we just breathed out some, "Thank God they are alive and well to still rock our world!"
   The Art of Jagger, was a holy miracle, old and cute, ugly cute, I adore him. I could not listen for watching his every move. Every twitch of his hands, body, mouth. Mercy, he is a bottled up hurricane, blues magic, rock n roll classic, old, pitch perfect human!!! A Jumping Jack Flash, electric ride with all the boys of summer. Thank you B for letting your sister dance in the aisle, it was a night to remember. Thank you T, in the universe, for sending us some breeze, we both knew you were with us! We were high on granola bars and water for this go-round!! We are old and still concert going kids!! I think my mother was more excited then us, we sent her a selfie, of her babies at The Stones, once again.
      That brings me to The Art of Family, in this month of July.
     We had Bill's sister Jenny here from Chicago for a few days, so enjoyed seeing her and talking like magpies!! My family stories tend to tramp down Bill's, we are a rare!! So it was nice to hear Jenny talk about their stories. Photos galore. Jenny introduced me to my hubs, so I like to thank her from time to time! She was a good match maker, 38,39 years ago, I have lost count.
    Then after The Stones concert, Mother Mary (mom) graced us with a car ride back to Atlanta for a trial run of long term visiting. We laughed and talked, until I told her my tongue was swelling, for a week.I had the pleasure of doing things for her. She is use to a life of service, wife and mother, now she can find her, we hope. She is frail and strong, passive and NOT, she is our mom and NaNa, and we are lucky to have her with us, still learning and living her best self. ( am trying to get her to skip the perms!! Baby steps!) My brother came to pick her up, and she could not wait to mop her kitchen floor, God bless her new journey, where ever she may land. Love you Mama.
  July is almost finished, fast and busy, and beautiful.
  Happiness flows through me, to embrace August with a smile.
  Thank you July, it was pretty special, heat included.
   Love
