Let me tell you, I certainly wasn’t smiling like this every day this week. What a roller coaster of a week — relationship-wise — it has been!

When we let unproductive energy creep into our relationships, it’s so true that negative thoughts during those moments can eat away at us if we don’t actively attempt to redirect that energy.

Well, I had one of “those” days with my spouse this week. It was not a good Penny-energy day, and I just do not like when I feel like that. At all.

I could tell the following day was going to be a repeat of the previous day if I let it. However, that all changed when I decided to focus my attention on helping someone else through a tough time. Like magic, my own issue with my husband and I began shifting…..for the better!

Back in good energy, last night, Collin and I decided to take some visiting relatives out dancing. How fun and therapeutic it was for all of us! We ended up at the right place — with the perfect company and ideal atmosphere. I was just so comfortable there and danced the night away. There was something quite elecrifying between Collin and me on the dance floor. Was this the same man whom I couldn’t nearly stand to be around earlier in the week?
During one song that had a Latino-type beat, Collin and I danced Latin-style. It felt great and I gracefully moved my hips in sync with the rhythm as my dance partner twirled me about the dance floor. After that dance, Collin whispered in my ear, “A lot of eyes were on us.” We giggled like teenagers and as if we had just met.

Today, I keep getting a good feeling about our night out on the town, dancing. Truly, it was the ideal remedy for the type of energy I had gotten stuck in earlier in the week. Ahh, like yoga, dancing is so good for my soul.

I guess the moral of this story is: when we fall out of relationship-sync, there usually is another option — a fun one — out there just waiting to help reconnect and redirect……like dancing was for Collin and me. “I felt like we were dancing stars,” my dancing partner said to me this morning.

Well, this dancing star is ready to dance some more! What about you?
