60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: Dance With What Your Momma Gave You

Hello to you listening in Gerringong, Australia!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday.

Recently someone asked me if I had been a dancer. No. Are you sure? You move like one, you’re flexible like a dancer. Not me. Time passed. Smack upside the head! I was a dancer! I was a dancer! Decades ago spending hard-earned dollars on Arthur Murray Dance Studio lessons and competition because my grandmother (she born of thrift and denial) said, “Go ahead! Do it. If you don’t you’ll regret it.”

My godmother, Diane Blue, was my mother’s college roommate. Diane was a dancer with dreams of going pro; but, as often  happened back then she got married. The fellow she married had 2 left feet. Diane stopped dancing. Me? Funny you should ask: my used-to-be husband didn’t dance, couldn’t dance, wouldn’t dance. After all those years of ballroom dancing I had no one to dance with. I stopped dancing.

Today? Today I move what my momma gave me – because I am a dancer!

Story Prompt: What dream did you live, give up and then bring back to life? What happened then? Write that story!
