I Found A Senior Couple Today That Will Dance An Anniversary Waltz On Their Anniversary

I was most encouraged today when I spoke with a woman that told me her anniversary will be next week. I think she was 90 years old and when I asked her if she will dance an anniversary waltz on their anniversary she told me yes they will. She proceeded to share with me that they met via ballroom dancing. There is nothing more elegant/romantic than when a man and woman are dressed up and gliding across the dance floor to the rhythm of a waltz. At the very right moment the gentle yet graceful spin. Such a great opportunity for the woman and man to look into each others eyes as the music and their bodies sway together in sync. When you are in the arms of the right man that can lead you in a waltz it is likened to a conductor leading that most wonderful symphony. Each instrument played on their own is nice but there is nothing quite exhilarating than when the symphony combines all of their talents together in one accord. Each member of the symphony has specific roles to play and parts that need to be practiced on their own. It is in the combining of all the members together in one accord that is when the real magic so to speak happens. A person in the audience can escape and enter into the rhythm of the music. Music is a wonderful thing on its own. It is much more fun when it is coupled with dance rhythms.
I once wrote about a man and woman when they are dressed elegantly. I wrote this 3/9/96:

"I started the day at a retreat. Just before the close of the retreat each person was handed a scroll with the words of the song ,"The Rose" by Bette Midler. Father played the tape and how beautiful the words "Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose."
I love to dance and more specific I love to dance the waltz. Such a graceful and romantic dance when you are with the right partner it is as if you are just gliding on top of a cloud. As I sit at a coffee shop enjoying my tea, I looked out the window and saw many in tuxedo's walk by. There must be a formal dinner party taking place tonight. There's something about a gentleman dressed in a tuxedo. Something so very proper and elegant at the same time. This brings to mind the benefit that is coming up. When I go I wish to feel as elegant and feminine at the same time as the way a gentleman looks in a tuxedo.
When people dress up they are a bit more pleasant and enjoy themselves. How can you not when you feel good about yourself. I recommend (if it's possible and practical) that couples should dress like this at least once a year. Even if you go nowhere just for you and your spouse to enjoy each other. Why so much romanticism in me? I will not question this for the dear and gentle Lord blessed me with this. Amen."

How uncanny is this...I am writing about the song that referenced a rose and just this morning before I walked I looked at my flower garden. Even though things are beginning to die out and prepare for winter I still saw 2-3 pink rose buds bloomed, lavender, and even a few daisies still alive. I guess my little journey this morning was part of the grand plan in my writing this evening.
