I am not sure who first spoke or wrote these words, but I saw them again today in a friends home and thought I would mention them in my blog tonight. I am not a good singer, I usually only do it when I am alone, in fact I only do it the car, when I am alone in the car. When I sing alone in the car I am not all that bad a singer. I don't dance much anymore either; my left knee wouldn't allow for a lot of dancing. I have always enjoyed watching dancing though. Some of my earliest memories with my babies are of me dancing with them. Usually just dancing around the kitchen because I felt such joy and pride to hold them in my arms. Sometimes I would dance ever so slowly with my babies when they sick or teething or cranky. Dancing with them seemed to soothe them and probably soothed me as well.
I remember all of my babies before they were a year old, when they were just pulling themselves up in the playpen or the crib, doing their own form of dancing to whatever music was playing. My children all seemed to be born with a sense of rhythm. I think all children are. When I danced with my babies I definately danced like no one was watching, most of the time no one was. I just danced, I didn't think if I was doing it right or wrong. There is no wrong way to dance with your baby. I sang to them also, and I sang like no one was listening. I sang to my babies before they were born and I danced with them still inside me.
Love like you'll never get hurt!!!! Well why not. We are all going to experience joy and pain in our lifetime, no matter how careful we are. There is no way to avoid or circumvent all the possibilities in life. So sure "Love Like You'll Never Get Hurt". The only way I know to avoid the hurt is not to love at all. And who wants to do that???
