Not just any bouquet of flowers. Presented with love and gratitude for doing something that fills me with joy and connection every week. The Get Up & Dance Army gave me these flowers in Friday to welcome me back after an operation and some treatment. A few minutes in and it was like I had never left the outdoor chip bark dance floor at Grow Slow.
My optimism tells me I can dance through the rest of the treatment. When I look at this painting each surrounding leaf a dancer, a brave soul, who turns up and together we laugh, move and dance with life.
