We just finished our last lesson in dance classes last evening, and I went into this thinking that the waltz was a pretty simple dance. I was wrong! There are all kinds of things to learn and remember and "execute", but I think we did more in the realm of "execution" - we murdered this poor dance. Maybe if we practice a lot, it'll come more naturally to us. And it's a good lesson in learning how to work together, not get frustrated with each other, or lose our patience. I think it'll have a positive impact on our relationship, as well as being fun. But for some couples, it might not be a good idea (picture Archie Bunker and Edith!)
On occasion, we were managing to dance though, and it was fun. Fun to (sort of) glide across the floor and look into each other's eyes and smile because - for one brief moment - we had it! Now when I watch DWTS, I'll really appreciate the time and effort and amazing outcomes of their work. Like so many things in life, it's so much easier to be on the sidelines, criticizing, until you get in the game and find out how difficult it really is.
Those life lessons are just about everywhere, aren't they!
