Three Things Challenge #MM553
Today’s three words:
YONKS• YAWN • YOUTHFUL
Still Got It… Sort Of! 🎶😂
I found an old photograph while sorting through a drawer.
There I was, all big hair and confidence, standing behind a DJ booth. I hadn’t seen that picture in yonks.
“Oh, look at you!” my husband said.
“I know. I was rather cool.”
“You still are.”
“Good answer.”
The photograph brought back memories of nights when I could dance for hours, get home at sunrise, and somehow still function the next day.
“I could do that again,” I announced.
My husband looked at me over his coffee.
“Could you?”
“Of course. I’m still youthful at heart.”
That evening, I put on some old dance tracks and turned up the volume. Within seconds, I was moving around the living room as though I’d never left the dance floor.
Bella watched from the sofa.
The cats disappeared.
My husband grinned. “You’ve still got the moves!”
“Obviously!”
Three songs later, I sat down.
“Just taking a little break.”
“Already?”
“I’m pacing myself.”
He laughed.
I gave an enormous yawn.
“Perhaps we should call it a night,” he suggested.
I glanced at the clock.
It was 9:47 p.m.
“Absolutely not,” I said. “One more song.”
I pressed play, danced through the chorus, and then headed straight for bed.
Because I’ve discovered something important about getting older:
The music still makes me feel twenty-one. It’s just that my knees have access to the calendar.
