Sometimes the "feel' of a post is lost when random words are dropped. This is what it is supposed to say:

The view from my dance studio – 2009. Looks tranquil, doesn't it? Well, from me and my camera to the window and beyond it WAS tranquil! But behind me, if you can imagine, were dozens of joyful dancers burning up the floor to intoxicating dance rhythms. I leased this beautiful space for about 15 years. Bittersweet memories.

This is an interesting image, and probably was a lovely view at various times of day and seasons. When we continue happily in a scenario, and then have to change for whatever reason, it does have bittersweet memories. I can "hear" it in your "voice".

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

It's true, MrsJoe ... there is a lot to miss about the studio. But closing the studio and moving away turned out to be a good choice. I'm happy in my new home.

Bittersweet memories can be lovely yet painful at the same time. Glad to see you made the right choice in the end.

Very nice photo.

I miss my dancing days. I simply can't move the way I used to. I wouldn't dare try falling to the ground today, like I did for dance in younger years. Ironically, the technique that I learned for falling in dancing came in handy when I was parachuting and land on the ground.

Abracadabra

Thanks, Glumo. The memories are safely tucked away in my heart.

Thanks, Maudie. It took 6 years and lots of ingenuity to enjoy any sort of success in my new location but everything's good now ... or it will be again once Covid restrictions are fully eased.

Thanks ... it does look peaceful, doesn't it! A few times per year, though, when the City sponsored fireworks we'd have the most amazing view of them. No peace and quiet on those evenings but definitely a beautiful display!
