I am sure you are all tired of hearing about my job, but boy do I love this job! Today we had a valentines dance and yet again I was putting 100% into everything. My clients are mood matchers so if I am not happy, they aren't. So I was being over the top silly and trying to get everyone to dance with me. It turned out to be so much fun! I nearly died on the dance floor from dancing too much but it was all worth it.
I started a game to get them involved that was pretty much "silliest dancer wins". My dad used to say "a room full of laughter makes those seconds of being stupid all worth it." He was right, but to that I say, "one laugh makes those seconds of being stupid all worth it." The greatest trait my dad had was being the funniest guys I knew. He could turn any story into something that made you pee your pants from laughter. I always wanted to be like that. Sadly, I am not like that nor will I ever be. But that is not my miracle. My miracle today was seeing that I didn't have to reflect on the bad times with my dad. The legacy he left behind in my memories was the laughs and the good times. I feared that when he died, I would be left with bitterness. That simply was not the case. What a miracle!
