“Guess what day it is?”

The 21st day of September.

The trumpets blasted right as my son slid into the room. An instant dance party erupted.

A smile and a sly “Awwwe, yeeeah” slipped out from my lips. 

Staring at screens and sitting on our duffs all day is a buzz kill. Remote schooling and work skip the fun parts of both. We miss it.

Our so-called social media break led to heavy conversations of the global pandemic, heated political climate, and Mother Nature’s own earth, wind, and fire revenge tour.

We needed a lift and the song “September” brought it—the perfect shift.

Wanna pause life and dance with us? No matter the day, feel like dialing that mood up a notch?

If the best move ya got is snappin’ those fingers on the off-beat with an over-bite, we love it. Seriously. 

“Right now,

I just need you to get real loose,

Get comfortable,

Grab your loved ones or grab your love, partner,

And if you’re by yourself, no worries,

Just follow after me…”

~ Blanco Brown 

Once that heart’s thumping, invite someone else onto our imaginary dance floor. What better time than the present to be one? Give the gift of a dance. Be serious or silly like a chicken, and…

“…remember, the true love we share today.

Hey, hey, hey!

Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?

Ba-dee-ya, dancin’ in September,

Ba-dee-ya,…”

Dedicated to my far-away loves who I miss twirling and the one who wooed me when he asked me to dance.
