I can’t stop being happy
The mail came
And it was good!
Changes happening
Wedding
Retirement
More time
It all began to happen a few months ago
When I couldn’t stop being happy
The week before I had been
Praying for my children
I was so distraught
I was all tied up in knots
Inside
And then
At the end of the church service
We sang an allelujah
In a minor key
And I started dancing in the pew
While singing
The dancing was mostly in my mind
But also in my body
Though my feet weren’t really moving
Everything inside was dancing
And all those knots were breaking loose
And setting me free
And I couldn’t stop laughing and dancing
All the way down the aisle
And out the front door
And down the steps
And I was still dancing
When I stood before the pastor outside
And told him what was happening
And someone to my left said
You are having a catharsis
I thought she meant a stroke or something
But yes it was a catharsis
And it has continued to this very day
I can’t stop being happy
