Every Friday, Lisa Jo Baker hosts a blog link up called Five Minute Fridays (FMF). She provides a word prompt and then participants are to set their timers for five minutes and write until the timer goes off. I am so thankful that I found Five Minute Fridays! FMF gives me an opportunity to just “freestyle”! Many of you have told me that you really enjoy reading the FMF posts! The word for today is STAY. Happy Friday Divas and here goes:
One of the definitions found on the free online dictionary defined STAY as a brief period of residence or visit. As I think about it, when you check out of a hotel or resort, they ask you: “How was your STAY“. Some ladies have joined our class for only a couple of visits yet a core group STAY with it. Could it be that the core group is STAYing for more reasons than just a great work out? I believe the women who continue to come to class week after week and STAY with us have truly found a residence.
Our class environment is a home away from home. It is a place where you STAY for a little while and leave feeling refreshed. I think I will ask newbies how was their STAY from now on instead of asking how they enjoyed class! (HE HE!)
Sometimes a new person will comment on how they cannot keep up with the steps and I encourage them to STAY with it. Our songs change frequently but the basic moves STAY the same. A salsa is a salsa. Life is a bit like that. Parts of our life our fast and others are slow but the day-to-day putting one foot in front of the other is the same.
It is often said that we are either in a valley, coming out of a valley or on our way into a valley.
The ebb and flow, peak and valley-ness of life seems to STAY. What is a Diva to do?
Don’t give up. STAY with it!
Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
FUN!
Wish I could come dance with you. But I’ll “dance” here and stay with it, thankful for all God has brought into my life.
Blessings!
