Hi everyone, I hope all is well. I shared this news with Traveler and Opugirl. Before Lyme I was an advid runner, African Dancer, Spoken Word Artist and I felt like Lyme took all of that away from.

Although I couldn't dance last night after 8 months of not going to the studio where they hold African Dance classes. I took my son and we went back to class to watch and hear the drumming! I haven't stepped foot in there since November 17th!

I was hugged, tears were shed, people told me how great I looked (WOW...I look great??? Thanks!)! The energy was so great and my nerves were in check, not a spasm, twitch...nothing. If anything we were rocking to the beat. (I was sore later but it was worth it)!

I envisioned myself dancing again and will keep visiting until I'm well enough to dance! I will not let this wicked disease rob me of my life!

I just had to share! I'm so happy and overjoyed! I hope that those who are scared of returning to what you love get inspired. My friend said it's like I'm courting my old life and then we will start dating again :-)

Have a great day everyone!

That's great! I can imagine how it must've felt for you to return there and I'm glad is was such an inspiration for you to continue your battle so you can return to what you love to do. It sounds like you were missed, so just going to be around people who care about you is healing.

Way to go!!!! I always take my good days and do something fun and full of life.

You need to embrace your passions, I truly believe it helps us heal.

It was so healing! Even though it was just a couple of hours it felt so goooooooooooooooooooooood! I think everyone should if they have the energy and even if they don't just envision yourself again doing what you love to do (mind over matter)!

Thanks everyone!!!!

This is heartwarming. It's good to read something positive!

Thanks ChickyMonkey!!! This has been a long time coming! I wanted to post this to share and give people hope. I still have a little ways to go but with the Healingwell family I know I will conquer Lyme like each of you have or will do!

This evening after work I took my son to our favorite icy spot and we split an icy! It felt so wonderful :-)

I am so happy for you and it gives me hope that I can one day return to the things that spiced my life up everyday too...glad to hear it!

I wanted to let you know that the only thing I did to your post was to make that link into a hyper-link so that it would be easier for those who wish to view what an African Dance looked like they can! And what a beautiful choice for an example!! The Celebration Dance!!!

Congratulations again!!! I'm still so very happy for you!!!
Keep up the good work! :-)

Wryter,

Your positive attitude is a great example for everyone here! Thanks for sharing this encouraging post. I hope to see a video of your dance someday when it is a dance of victory celebration!

Awesome.

Thanks.

Wow! So glad I posted this. Just in April I couldn't even go to a baby shower of one of my dear friends or to see a class. Amazing how things can change! I will keep everyone posted and the day I dance and if its recorded I will post it!

Traveler thanks for making the link into a hyperlink.

I'm still floating on cloud 9 today from Thursday evening!!!

Stay tuned and as always thank all of you for being there for me! This is such a great community!
