move your body.

 remember when you were little and it was hard to sit still?

when you would rather be playing than sleeping,

or wandering than waiting?

i see that in my kids and it reminds me...

 it reminds me that although there is a time and place for everything,

our bodies are meant to run, to wander, to play, to twirl, to move.

we don't need as much down time as we might think.

what we do need is to move, to feel alive.

 yesterday preslee told me after being in the house for a while,

"mom, i just want to run free!"

yes, she is a girl after my own heart.

so we bundled, walked to the nearest land of grass,

 and we ran free...

mud, wind, cold, full term pregnant belly and all:)

maybe one of these dance parties will put me into labor sooner than later:)
