Dirty Dancing

Finally, the end of a very hard work week if here, and its time to rest.  But after going all out all week long, I find I'm restless and still need to keep going.  

Today, I decided to compromise and put Dirty Dancing on the TV.  I puttered around in my kitchen, straightened up the living room, and enjoyed all the classic music.  Most of its pretty mellow, definitely not ACDC rock!  

But the line that stuck with me today was Baby saying "Me?  I'm scared of everything. ... and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling for the rest of my life the way I feel when I'm with you."  Those are powerful words, and puts into perspective how we thought about things when we were teens. 

From my perspective this late in life, I've learned that you can love many people in your lifetime, each of them different and unique in their own way. 

You'll carry those memories with you, and some will stand out more than others.  My first real love was Ronnie.  Unless you count Michael.... we were in second grade..  haha..  My last love was intense like Baby's feelings in the movie.  Its been more than 15 yrs and I still carry those feelings for Chuck,  my cowboy.

Hang on to your memories, they are treasures!!
